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, free for all users.
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. The CCS layers are available to all users at no additional cost.
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 rights, project boundaries, and injection wells each have their own free map layers - toggle them from the Energy category in the layers panel. They are most useful to teams scoping sequestration submissions, who need to see existing pore-space rights against the DLS grid. CCS features also appear in the alternative-energy section of the Energy tab on the parcel report for Energy Bundle subscribers.
