Meadowbrook Hub Project

The Meadowbrook Carbon Storage Hub (MCSH), developed by Bison Low Carbon Ventures, is situated near Morinville, Alberta, and is the company's first approved CO₂ storage hub. In August 2024, Bison received a Commercial Sequestration Agreement (CSA) from Alberta Energy, making Meadowbrook the second hub to reach this milestone. By February 2025, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) granted the formal D065 approval, enabling construction to begin in summer 2025, with CO₂ injection expected to start in fall 2025. Initially targeting 500,000 tonnes per annum (ktpa) through the pilot Phase 1, the hub is planned to scale to 3 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) over time as demand grows. Injection is planned into a deep, under-pressured, high-quality dolomitized reef within the Devonian Woodbend Group (specifically the Leduc and Cooking Lake formations), spanning about 270 square miles with thickness over 1,000 ft and notably devoid of existing oil or gas production. This setting offers strong sequestration potential and advantageous hydrogeological conditions. The project’s Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) Plan includes phased risk assessments, real-time monitoring of pressure and plume containment, seismic activity tracking, groundwater quality assessment, and post-injection care.
