The oilsands in a carbon-constrained Canada The collision course between overall emissions and national climate commitments

In a continuing effort to depolarize the conversation, this report seeks to help establish a basic, commonly agreed-upon set of facts about Alberta’s oilsands, their emissions performance and trajectories, and what Canada’s commitment to achieve deep decarbonization will mean for the sector. 

Carbon Emissions: Who makes big polluters pay A comparison of provincial and federal industrial carbon pricing systems for industrial emitters

This report undertakes a comparative analysis of the provincial and federal carbon pricing approaches to reduce emissions from heavy emitters.

Reliable, affordable: The economic case for scaling up clean energy portfolios A study comparing clean energy portfolios and natural gas for electricity generation

As grid operators, policy makers and utilities consider how they respond to these trends, the key question facing them is: Can clean energy solutions deliver a reliable supply of electricity in an affordable manner?

Pembina Institute comments on the proposed Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system Formal submission to Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta

Alberta’s proposed TIER system is a step in the wrong direction. The TIER system would disrupt the investment landscape, create policy uncertainty, and provide a significantly weaker signal to industry to reduce emissions than is currently provided by the CCIR. Lowering ambition of a recently implemented and well-designed policy that meets the dual objective of reducing emissions while protecting competitiveness would not benefit industry, nor Albertans.
