A deal worth more than $550 million has been signed to transport carbon dioxide via pipeline from Alberta's industrial heartland to producing oilfields.
The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line will stretch 240 kilometres from the Fort Saskatchewan region to central Alberta, and transport 14 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.
The line will be constructed by Enhance Energy and North West Upgrading and is scheduled to go into operation by 2012.
The province is investing $495 million in the project over 15 years, while the federal government will kick in $63 million.
