Last week Royal Dutch Shell officially opened its Quest CCS plant at its tar-sands processing complex in Fort Saskatchewan in Canada. The plant is aiming to capture some 500 kilometres of CO2 annually, roughly one third of the plant's total emissions, and store it underground. The Quest plant is one of fifteen CCS plants in operation worldwide and Shell, keen to carry on developing the technology, is sharing its know-how to help other similar projects to get off the ground.
