Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Guy Boutilier is pushing Premier Ed Stelmach's plan to capture C02 and send it through a $1.5-billion, 400-kilometre pipeline that would allow it to be used to help get more oil out of low-producing wells.0 N4 A( Z3 j3 \( ~) p

Production and refining in Alberta's north demands enough natural gas to heat 3.2 million Canadian homes per day, as well as generating three times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional light or medium crude oil, according to the institute.
