"We are excited to expand Entropy's footprint into Saskatchewan and strengthen our commitment to the carbon capture and sequestration business in Alberta," said Sanjay Bishnoi, CEO, Entropy. "This acquisition marks a significant step in our commercial growth. We are also excited to build relationships with new customers and advance existing infrastructure projects that will enable CO₂ to reach these newly acquired storage hubs."

Entropy Operational Update

Entropy continues its successful operations and scale-up of carbon capture and sequestration operations at the Glacier gas plant. With Phase 1a preparing to be incorporated into Phase 2 operations, Entropy continues to see consistent, strong carbon capture at Phase 1b (>90% capture and >98% run time) with heat of regeneration in the range of 2.5-2.9 GJ/Tonne CO₂ captured.

Progress on the previously announced Glacier Phase 2 continues on time and, despite tariffs and inflation, within 10% of the budget set at the Final Investment Decision on July 9, 2024. Fabrication is underway on all long lead items, including the Solar T130 gas-fired turbine, with construction set to begin this summer. Entropy anticipates Glacier Phase 2 will reach commercial operations by Q2 2026.
