Carbon Management Canada signs MOU with UK counterpart

Carbon Management Canada (CMC), a Network of Centres of Excellence, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) to facilitate collaborative projects at the CMC's field research station currently under development in conjunction with the Univ of Calgary.
