Entropy Inc. has finished commissioning Glacier Phase 2, a 15 MW co-generation and carbon capture project at the Glacier Gas Plant in Saddle Hills County, Alberta. All major construction is complete and the equipment has been tested, according to a July 30, 2026 release from Entropy, a subsidiary of Advantage Energy.
The new unit runs a 15 MW Solar T130 turbine fitted with carbon capture. Entropy sells the output to Advantage under a 15-year power purchase agreement covering 6 MW at $85 per megawatt-hour, and exports surplus electricity as merchant power to the Alberta Electric System Operator grid. A third-party engineering firm put the design-basis carbon intensity of the electricity at 84 kilograms of CO2 per megawatt-hour, based on a lifecycle assessment.
What the project captures
Post-combustion capture pulls carbon dioxide out of exhaust gas after fuel has burned, rather than before. Glacier Phase 2 applies that process to the new turbine and to roughly 30 MW of reciprocating engines that already run compression at the gas plant. Combined with earlier phases running since 2022, Entropy is now targeting capture and sequestration of 192,000 tonnes of CO2 a year across 45 MW of gas-fired equipment, eleven engines plus the one turbine, with a removal target above 90 percent.
Commissioning and safety
Workers logged more than 250,000 exposure hours on the build without a serious incident, including work at heights and multiple heavy lifts. Chief operating officer James Martin said crews "eliminated bottlenecks and successfully installed all plant-to-plant interconnects" during a three-week turnaround at the gas plant, with "zero impact on daily operations."
Chief executive Sanjay Bishnoi called it a "first-of-a-kind asset." Entropy said it aims to publish verified performance data in the coming months through EntropyIQ, its carbon measurement and accounting system. Jarad Daniels, chief executive of the Global CCS Institute, described Glacier Phase 2 as "the first post-combustion CCS system on a gas turbine for power generation."
Policy backdrop
Entropy has put more than $250 million into carbon capture projects across Canada, now working through the NRCan and CRA review process under the federal Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Investment Tax Credit (CCUS ITC) and Alberta's Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Investment Program (ACCIP). Saddle Hills County also runs its own carbon capture tax incentive bylaw. Entropy said review timelines have run longer than it budgeted for, and the company has not yet received ITC or ACCIP proceeds.
