A new law, Bill 27, could allow for large-scale geologic carbon storage to reduce the emissions from industrial processes like natural gas power generation, cement and steel-making, but critics say it’s not a silver bullet. …Ontario’s associate minister Sam Oosterhoff is impressed by Suncor Energy. The company… “cares deeply about reducing emissions.” And Oosterhoff believes they should do it through a process known as carbon capture and storage. That’s why Ontario should pass new legislation that would enable this process for high-emitting industries like cement and steel. …Bruce Hart, an adjunct professor in earth sciences at Western University, said he’s optimistic about Ontario’s carbon storage plans, given the types of rock available in the southwestern part of the province. …Aly Hyder Ali, at Environmental Defence, characterizes it as a tactic that allows emitters to expand fossil fuel production, not a meaningful solution to climate change.
