Design recommendations for a national oil and gas emissions cap
Pembina Institute comments and recommendations on the Regulatory Framework for an Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap
The Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap, as proposed, represents a realistic and reasonable pathway to meaningful emissions reductions in the oil and gas sector this decade. The Pembina Institute generally supports the level and scope of the proposed cap; it is a crucial step forward in bending the curve on emissions in Canada’s highest-emitting sector. We also recommend that the regulatory development timeline for this emissions cap be accelerated where possible.
