Background:
June 26, 2024 – Shell Canada Products, a subsidiary of Shell plc, today announced the Final Investment Decision (FID) for Polaris, a carbon capture project at the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park, Scotford in Alberta, Canada. Polaris is designed to capture approximately 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually from the Shell-owned Scotford refinery and chemicals complex.
In addition to the Polaris FID, Shell today announced FID to proceed with the Atlas Carbon Storage Hub in partnership with ATCO EnPower. The first phase of Atlas will provide permanent underground storage for CO2 captured by the Polaris project.
Emerson, Vortek and Woodward who all have shops in Colorado and a number of others were selected as vendors for the flow meters, valves and I&E control for the project.
Our group, MCF Inspection has been tasked with provding vendor surveillance for the project on behalf of a number of stakeholders. Michael’s father, Benjamin Fitzpatrick had the pleasure of working for Shell for 35 years as a busines manager.
Following our work with Appomattox, Ursa and the Shell/FLNG Canada Development Project we are happy to serve Shell for this exciting project!
