New report shows environment commitments not met by Canada’s oil and gas companies
CALGARY, AB – Most of Canada’s oil sands producers have made little progress on their goal to decarbonize the sector despite historically high profits and low capital expenditures, a new report said.
A report from the Pembina Institute said little has been done by members of the Pathways Alliance, an industry group that accounts for 95 per cent of the country’s oil sands producers, to meet its commitment to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Last year, Canada’s six largest oil sands producers and two existing oil sands organizations, pledged to meet Canada’s climate imperatives under the Pathways Alliance.
The pledge includes targets for the oil sands sector to achieve a 22-million-ton annual reduction by 2030 and a goal of reaching net-zero emission by 2050, said Pathways Alliance president Kendall Dilling in a statement.
