The federal natural resources minister has announced $21.5 million in funding for five Alberta projects that aim to lower the cost of capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions.

But Tim Hodgson had few details to share Friday about how talks are progressing with a group of major oilsands players on a separate $16.5-billion carbon capture, usage and sequestration project that remains in limbo.
