Central Alberta is home to one of the world's leading hydrocarbon processing regions with $45 billion in capital investment, supporting 30,000+ jobs. 

Mark Plamondon is Executive Director of the Alberta Industrial Heartland Association. He discusses some of the diverse opportunities for the area, including how world-leading carbon capture infrastructure and readily available oil and natural gas feedstocks can drive growing value for Canada's energy resources: reducing emissions associated with refining and petrochemicals, while taking advantage of emerging markets for hydrogen and battery production.
