I worked directly with IMC over a period of six years from 2005. As a GM at Suncor, I led 15 other companies in developing an early collaboration on carbon capture and storage technical and economic analysis and advocacy (The Integrated CO2 Network). The IMC team was our lead in government relations for Alberta. They facilitated formal discussions at both the minister and Premier levels, as well as the necessary broader discussion and education on this new topic for the Government staff and MLAs. The key benefits that IMC brought to our consortium were its depth of experience, relationships with the Alberta government and the ability to use their consulting time effectively to move a dialogue forward. When I retired from Suncor, I joined IMC so I could continue to stay engaged in my experience areas – CCS, clean energy, and technology development.
