Four months later, the initiative laid out a three-phase, decade-by-decade plan for achieving net-zero emissions by mid-century, thereby increasing the likelihood of significant amounts of long-life, low-decline oil sands resource being produced well into the future. This initiative has since evolved into the Pathways Alliance, made up of the six largest oil sands producers: Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial Oil, MEG Energy and Suncor Energy, which t
