The Quebec government has introduced a bill to regulate the exploration and development of underground reservoirs for carbon sequestration, which involves capturing carbon dioxide and storing it deep under the earth. Samuel Poulin, the Minister for the Economy, stated that this legal framework is essential for current projects, particularly in the Chaudière-Appalaches and Centre-du-Québec regions. The company Deep Sky plans to launch its first phase of CO2 storage in Thetford Mines by 2028 and is already conducting injection tests at the site. A report from the International Energy Agency mentioned in the article notes that carbon capture is an important tool, but warns against relying on it too heavily. The agency also pointed out that the technology requires massive amounts of electricity and significant financial investment.
