I'm not certain on terms of federal funding. I know that in Alberta some specific policies have helped fund some enhanced oil recovery pilots. Just as the capture technology needs to be proven, it's not a slam dunk that every oil reservoir will work suitably for CO2 injections. So they take one injection well and try to demonstrate over a period of months, or a year or two, that CO2 is going to be effective. Some projects like this have been provincially supported. I can't comment on whether federal support has gone into this.
