Background

For more than 15 years, Regina, Saskatchewan has been the centre of greenhouse gas technology development, with research on CO2 capture dating back to 1991. The International Test Centre (ITC) research group at the University of Regina is considered worldwide to be a leading centre in the area of CO2 capture. In 2000, the world’s first Weyburn-Midale CO2 measuring, monitoring and verification project supported by International Energy Agency (IEA) was launched to study CO2 behaviour in the ground.

Furthermore, the University has been the scene of ionic liquids research in various forms for 40 years and GREEN chemistry workshops featuring this topic were hosted periodically from1999. It is intended to showcase the University of Regina as a foremost research and educational establishment in the area of sustainable energy development and to invite world experts to participate in discussions on the subjects of energy and environment.
