Our Mission
CMC is a leading specialist in advancing strategies and technologies for emissions storage, management and reduction that shape Canada’s low-carbon landscape. We support large-scale carbon management projects through innovation and applied research activities, with a focus on monitoring carbon in the subsurface, the validation and integration of fugitive emissions monitoring technologies, and the development of a skilled workforce through training, education and outreach.
Our Vision
Enabling the widespread deployment of a thriving carbon management industry in Canada to drive deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions.
Membership
CMC promotes international collaboration and knowledge-sharing, through a membership-based Joint Industry Partnership (JIP). The JIP provides comprehensive data, technology assessments and expertise to the CCUS sector for use by industry, policy makers and regulators, academia, researchers, and technology developers.

Geological CO2 Storage
Containment and Monitoring Innovation Program
Through the Containment and Monitoring Innovation (CaMI) program, CMC develops cost-effective, semi-continuous monitoring systems for CO2 geological storage using an advanced multi-physics sparse approach. CMC operates the Newell County Field Research Station (FRS), a unique facility to test, develop and demonstrate technologies for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS). CMC helps innovators to scale-up and prove their technologies, as well as provides expertise for the design and engineering of CCUS projects. CMC also fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing through our joint industry partnership program.

Atmospheric Fugitive Emissions
CMC Atmospheric Fugitive Emissions Program
The CMC Atmospheric Fugitive Emissions (CMC-AFE) program supports methane detection and quantification technology development in Canada. CMC operates a new, world-class test pad at the Newell County Field Research Station which features mock oilfield equipment groupings fitted with release points, centralized gas conditioning and flow control capabilities, automated gas release with broad range of flow rates, and meteorological data collection. THE AFE supports stationary, handheld, aerial and truck-mounted technology deployments. The controlled release test framework utilizes at the AFE, follows the Canadian Methane Detection and Quantification Testing Protocol.
