Canada's CCUS Strategy: PigCAM Technology Enhances Pipeline Readiness for CO₂ Transport
Canada's energy transition strategy highlights the importance of Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with a focus on developing CO₂ transport networks using repurposed hydrocarbon pipelines. The integration of EV's PigCAM technology with the AIVA™ analytics platform enables continuous high-definition video inspections to ensure pipeline cleanliness and safety for CCUS operations. Current pipelines transport 7 Mt of CO₂ annually, with plans to increase capacity to 10-12 Mt by 2030, underscoring the need for effective visual inspection as CCUS infrastructure expands.

Canada's energy transition plans emphasize Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) as essential for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Key to this is the development of CO₂ transport networks, many utilizing repurposed hydrocarbon pipelines.
EV's PigCAM technology, integrated with the AIVA™ analytics platform, provides continuous high-definition video inspections of pipeline interiors, addressing internal cleanliness concerns critical for safe CCUS operations. The Alberta Carbon Trunk Line, Quest, and Boundary Dam-Weyburn pipelines currently transport 7 Mt of CO₂ annually, with plans to expand capacity to 10-12 Mt by 2030.
The initial deployment of PigCAM in ENI's HyNet CCUS project revealed the need for targeted cleaning before pipeline commissioning. As CCUS infrastructure grows, visual inspection will be essential for ensuring pipeline readiness and compliance with safety standards.
