Glacier Sour Gas Plant Carbon Capture

The Glacier CCS project is a phased, commercial-scale carbon capture deployment at parent company Advantage Energy's Glacier Gas Plant in Saddle Hills County, Alberta (west of Grande Prairie near the BC boundary), developed and operated by Entropy Inc. Captured CO₂ is compressed, conditioned, and permanently stored via on-site injection into a deep saline disposal formation. Phase 1 has been operating since 2022 with capture capacity of 32,000 tonnes CO₂ per year. Phase 2 reached FID in July 2024, was commissioned on August 3, 2026, and expands total site capture and permanent geological sequestration capacity to 192,000 tonnes CO₂ per year (Phase 2 alone adds 160,000 tonnes/year). Phase 2 integrates Entropy's modular post-combustion capture technology across 45 MW of total plant capacity (eleven gas-fired compression engines plus a new 15 MW gas turbine cogeneration unit) at greater than 90% CO₂ removal rates, making the site the first operational post-combustion CCS system installed on a gas turbine used for power generation. Entropy has invested more than $250 million across its Canadian CCS portfolio, of which the Glacier phases are the anchor assets. Project revenues are supported through a 15-year Carbon Credit Offtake agreement with Canada Growth Fund (CGF) covering approximately 75% of expected revenues, with Entropy the first company to sign a CGF backstop deal. The remaining 25% of revenues come from a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement with Advantage Energy under which Entropy supplies 6 MW of low-carbon power at C$85/MWh with surplus exported to the Alberta grid at a design-basis carbon intensity of 84 kg CO₂/MWh. Entropy is publishing verified performance data through its proprietary EntropyIQ real-time carbon accounting system. Ongoing administrative delays in disbursement of Canada's Federal CCUS Investment Tax Credit and Alberta's Carbon Capture Incentive Program (ACCIP) have been flagged publicly by Entropy as a headwind to project financing costs and investor certainty for follow-on modular CCS scale-ups in Canadian upstream gas operations.
