Recent studies have revealed that Canada and British Columbia will miss achieving the climate action targets for 2020. BC`s energy step code requires buildings to be net-zero ready by 2032. Innovative and practical approaches are needed to achieve the envisioned climate action targets on net-zero buildings. Carbon capture systems could play a crucial role in achieving sustainable energy production in buildings. Furthermore, micro carbon sequestration has a great commercialization potential, especially for existing natural gas systems. However, carbon capture and utilization technologies are yet to be widely deployed in Canada. Even though carbon capture and utilization has been used at an industrial scale, micro level application of the technology is yet to be researched in actual building settings. The premise for this study was developed based on the aforementioned knowledge gap. The University of British Columbia will collaborate with CleanO2, Pacific Northern Gas Ltd. (an AltaGas subsidiary), FortisBC, Northern Lights College and the City of Dawson Creek to analyze the system performance, environmental performance, and market feasibility of micro carbon capture systems in institutional and large residential buildings. This research will seek to understand the feasibility of adopting micro level carbon capture in the Canadian building sector, and to generate a much needed knowledge base on the subject. The proposed research aims for breakthroughs in zero emission building heating with natural gas, and will provide a foundation for investigating micro level carbon capture and utilization.

最近的研究表明，加拿大和不列颠哥伦比亚省将错过实现2020年气候行动目标的问题。BC的能源步骤代码要求建筑物到2032年准备就绪。需要创新和实用的方法来实现对净净建筑物的设想气候行动目标。碳捕获系统可能在实现建筑物可持续能源生产方面发挥至关重要的作用。此外，微型碳固存具有巨大的商业化潜力，尤其是对于现有的天然气系统。但是，碳捕获和利用技术尚未在加拿大广泛部署。 即使已经在工业范围内使用了碳捕获和利用，但该技术的微级应用尚未在实际建筑环境中进行研究。这项研究的前提是根据上述知识差距开发的。不列颠哥伦比亚大学将与Cleano2，Pacific Northern Gas Ltd.（Altagas子公司），Fortisbc，Northern Lights College和Dawson Creek市合作，分析机构和大型居民建筑中微型碳捕获系统的系统性能，环境绩效以及微心捕获系统的市场可行性。这项研究将寻求了解在加拿大建筑部门采用微级碳捕获的可行性，并在该主题上产生急需的知识基础。拟议的研究旨在用天然气在零排放建筑加热中进行突破，并将为研究微水平碳捕获和利用提供基础。
