Quebec City, September 26, 2014 \u2013 CO2 Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: CST), the leader in the field of enzyme- enabled carbon capture technology, today announced the signing of an Agreement with the University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC). With the Agreement, CO2 Solutions joins EERC\u2019s program Advancing CO2<\/sub> Capture Technology: Partnership for CO2<\/sub> Capture (PCO2<\/sub>C) Phase III as a sponsor.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the program, CO2 Solutions will test its technology at EERC\u2019s existing testing facility using natural gas and coal flue gas in December, 2014. The program\u2019s goal is to evaluate several CO2<\/sub> capture technologies that are among the most advanced systems under development for application to power and steam generation plants.<\/p>\n

The tests will have approximately twice the capacity of the Corporation`s largest testing to date. Data from the EERC program is expected to provide valuable input for the pilot initiative to run with Husky Energy in 2015. Additionally, it will provide additional performance benchmarking of CO2 Solutions\u2019 enzyme-accelerated process against other solvent-based processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honoured to join the EERC program, which is recognized as one of the leading CO2<\/sub> capture testing and benchmarking initiatives in the world today,\u201d said Evan Price, President and CEO of CO2 Solutions. \u201cWe also expect that the program will benefit our U.S. market entry, particularly for commercial applications such as Enhanced Oil Recovery, through the exposure of our technology to the program\u2019s prominent industry participants. Additionally, the EERC program offers a flexible platform that allows for the testing of different equipment configurations. The latter is part of our strategy to deliver a commercial solution that offers both low operating and capital costs compared to existing equipment solutions available today\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to welcome CO2 Solutions to the PCO2<\/sub>C program,\u201d said John Kay, EERC Senior Research Manager. \u201cWe believe its enzymatic technology holds considerable promise as a new, lower- cost approach for carbon capture, utilization and sequestration\u201d.<\/p>\n

The testing program is supported financially in part by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Further background information is available at http:\/\/www.undeerc.org\/Expertise\/Partnership-for-CO2-Capture- Technology-Development.aspx<\/a>. Certain results of CO2 Solutions\u2019 testing will be made available to the program consortia, which includes the DOE, other leading CO2<\/sub> capture technology providers, major energy companies, and electric utilities.<\/p>\n
