Government of Quebec approves carbon storage pilot application
The five-year pilot will test subsurface formations for long-term carbon dioxide storage and may be extended by two years, Questerre said.
- The Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy of Quebec approved Questerre Energy Corporation's application for a five-year pilot project on carbon storage, published in the Official Gazette of Quebec on August 19, 2026.
- The pilot project will involve drilling injection and observation wells and using existing wells to evaluate subsurface formations for long-term carbon dioxide storage.
- Questerre must consider decommissioning twelve suspended wells within 36 months per Bill 21 but will review these obligations with the Quebec government in light of the pilot project and funding provisions.
- Questerre stated the pilot aims to demonstrate Quebec's carbon storage potential, support emission reduction goals, and includes plans to collaborate with provincial and federal governments on funding and regulatory matters.
