Shell’s Massive Carbon Capture Facility In Canada Emits Far More Than It Captures, Study Says

The “Quest” plant in Alberta, Canada, owned by oil giant Shell, has previously been touted as a “thriving example” of how CCS is working to significantly reduce carbon emissions.


  • However, an investigation by watchdog group Global Witness, showed that while 5 million tons of carbon dioxide had been prevented from escaping into the atmosphere at the plant since 2015, it released a further 7.5 million tons of greenhouse gases over the same period.

  • In response, a spokesperson for Shell told CNBC via email that the analysis was “simply wrong.”
