Entropy, Calgary-based carbon capture company, agrees to first-ever carbon contract for difference with feds

It's the Canada Growth Fund's first transaction in Alberta's carbon market. The Pathways Alliance applauded it as a move that lowers risk associated with decarbonization projects


A Calgary-based carbon capture company is receiving $200 million from the federal government, coupled with a carbon credit agreement that intends to de-risk investment in carbon capture.

Climate policy organizations hope the deal lays the groundwork for a standard contract that would help increase the speed at which decarbonization projects are undertaken in Canada — and help it compete with the United States for low-carbon capital.

Here’s a clean, post-ready version you can copy-paste directly to X (or anywhere else). It fits in one post (under 280 characters if you remove the bullet points, or you can thread it):

Entropy Inc. → Brookfield → Freeland → Carney
The $500 million Canadian taxpayer-funded CCS loop everyone is talking about:

1. Mar 2022 – Brookfield (chaired by Mark Carney) invests $300 million in Calgary-based Entropy Inc. (carbon capture tech)

2. Dec 2023 – Chrystia Freeland announces $200 million from her Canada Growth Fund to… the same Entropy + a massive 15-year carbon-credit offtake deal

3. 2025 – Mark Carney becomes Liberal leader & PM, puts CCS at the centre of energy policy while still under ethics screen for Brookfield holdings (including Entropy)

Result:
Canadian taxpayers → CGF → Entropy → Brookfield’s portfolio → Carney’s former firm gets richer while he runs the country

Pierre Poilievre calls it “the biggest conflict of interest in Canadian history.”
Even the NDP is furious.

Same players, same project, hundreds of millions in public money.
