Carbon price certainty key to hastening oil sands decarbonisation
Canada’s oil sands producers need policy certainty to make the multibillion-dollar investments needed to achieve net zero, Pathways Alliance president Kendall Dilling tells Carbon Economist
The Pathways Alliance, made up of Canada’s six largest oil sands producers—Canadian Natural, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, MEG Energy and Suncor Energy—is advancing a range of projects as part of a three-phase plan to economically achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their operations by 2050. To learn more about these decarbonisation projects, and what more is needed from governments to achieve FID for capital-intensive projects, Carbon Economist spoke to Pathways Alliance President Kendall Dilling. The Pathways Alliance’s proposed CCS pipeline network and storage hub is a key component for all three phases of your plan to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050
