I'm very interested in this as well. Looks like if you're investing in SU, STO and a few more majors you're getting exposure to this: co2captureproject.org You might try CO2 hub and see if you can get a membership list: theco2hub.com I haven't looked through all the links: theco2hub.com Let us know if you find a public Ferus-style company! Of course, there are the majors like Praxair and Air Liquide, but they aren't focussed on carbon dioxide. Canexus, the new income trust, is a way to get exposure to demand for chemicals in the oil sands: globeinvestor.com sedar.com

pointcarbon.com 25.05.04 Alberta producers rewarded for use of CO2 in enhanced oil recovery Four companies using carbon dioxide in enhanced oil recovery projects will share a C$14 million bonus from the Alberta Government in Canada. Projects planned by Anadarko Canada, Apache Canada, Devon Canada and Penn West Petroleum all qualify for the royalty credits under the province’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the sequestration of CO2 as part of oil and gas production, reported Petroleum News. The CO2 is pumped into aging reservoirs to restore pressures and allow the final barrels to be extracted. Apache believes it has the potential to produce 616,420 barrels from its project. Energy Minister Murray Smith said the government is eager to promote innovation and technology “that will enhance the sustainable development of the province’s abundant energy resources.” Devon, in partnership with three other producers, plans to inject about 110 metric tons of CO2 per day for the duration of a project in Swan Hills, central Albert, the paper said. The Alberta government said in a news release that CO2 projects face high initial costs because of the cost of capturing CO2 from sources such as oil refineries, oil sands upgraders or power plants and from the lack of pipelines to move the gas to the field for injection. However, the government said there is a “significant opportunity” to link the supply of CO2 with the sources for demand, with oil sands upgraders rated as a potentially large and reliable source of pure CO2, according to Petroleum News.
