Bison Low Carbon Ventures Inc has completed commissioning of the Phase 1 Meadowbrook Carbon Storage Hub near Legal Alberta following regulatory approval in August 2024. Over fifteen months the company finalized site preparation facility design construction monitoring verification systems and conducted test injection activities. These steps enabled the project to enter operational service representing the first carbon capture and storage hub in Alberta to reach commissioning status under provincial oversight for emerging industrial emitters seeking compliant long term sequestration solutions.
The Phase 1 facility is licensed to inject up to five hundred kilotonnes of carbon dioxide annually and forms the foundation for larger scale development. Bison expects the Meadowbrook hub once fully built to manage at least three million metric tons of CO2 per year through permanent geologic storage. Future expansion phases will proceed based on customer demand and operational performance. Bison a privately held Alberta based developer also holds a carbon storage evaluation tenure at North Drumheller which is intended to replicate the Meadowbrook model as market interest grows across regional carbon management projects. The approach supports emitters pursuing regulatory compliance infrastructure certainty and long duration storage capacity within Alberta energy transition frameworks under established provincial oversight regimes structures.
Why it matters
The project establishes foundational CCS infrastructure in Alberta supporting regulated large scale carbon sequestration and industrial decarbonization planning.
