CCS key to decarbonising Canada’s oil sands
Pathways Alliance has put CCS at the heart of its net-zero strategy as it aims to achieve meaningful reductions in emissions from oil sands by 2030, alliance president Kendall Dilling tells Carbon Economist
Canada’s largest oil sands producers announced the Oil Sands Pathways to Net Zero initiative in June 2021, with the stated goal of economically achieving net-zero emissions from their operations by 2050. 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
