Carbon Engineering

Carbon Engineering (CE) is a world leader in direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide, and uses this technology to turn renewable electricity, air, and water into synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, that emit 90% less CO2 than fossil equivalents on a life-cycle basis and are directly compatible with today’s infrastructure and engines.

Idea: Low-Carbon Synthetic Fuels

CE’s project will build a commercial demonstration facility in Squamish that creates a diverse set of technical and business jobs in the community, generates opportunity for local business-to-business relationships, and produces low-carbon intensity synthetic fuels. These fuels can be used by Squamish vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improve local air quality, and demonstrate the ability for a local municipality to produce their own supply of transport fuels.

Measurable Benefits to Squamish:

• Local Jobs and Investment

• Fuel Supply

• Synergies with Municipal Bio-Gas

• GHG Reductions

• Local Air Quality Improvements
