CCS Tenure: Carbon-Capture Pore Space and Injection Wells
Alberta carbon-capture-and-storage tenure - pore-space agreements, project boundaries, and injection wells - surfaced on the map and in the parcel report as part of the Energy Bundle.
What it is
As Alberta builds out carbon capture, utilization, and storage, the province grants pore-space tenure - the right to inject and store CO2 in deep formations - and tracks the injection wells that serve those projects. Township Canada carries the CCS tenure polygons, project boundaries, and the injection-well registry, published by the Government of Alberta. It is part of the Energy Bundle entitlement.
What it carries
CCS records carry the feature type (pore-space agreement, project boundary, or injection well), name, operator, status, area, and effective and expiry dates. Injection wells carry their name, licence number, operator, status, and well type. We compute the share of each Legal Subdivision a CCS feature covers.
Coverage and refresh
Coverage is Alberta, published by the Government of Alberta and refreshed as the province releases updates. CCS tenure is an emerging dataset: it grows as new sequestration hubs are granted, so coverage expands over time rather than being a fixed register.

How Township Canada shows it
CCS pore-space, project, and injection-well features appear in the alternative-energy section of the Energy tab on the parcel report, alongside conventional tenure. They are most useful to teams scoping sequestration submissions, who need to see existing pore-space rights against the DLS grid.
