Response to the federal government’s discussion paper on the forthcoming Clean Electricity Standard Submission to Environment and Climate Change Canada
The Pembina Institute is pleased to present its response to the federal government’s discussion paper on the forthcoming Clean Electricity Standard, which aims to achieve net-zero emissions from electricity generation by 2035. We will continue to publish and submit further comments through the policy development process as further research is conducted and additional modelling results are available.
Getting on Track A primer on challenges to reducing carbon emissions in Canada’s oilsands
Canada's carbon-intensive oil and gas sector must significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, and must also confront the prospect of a decline in demand for its product over the long term. Oilsands producers now rely on technologies to meet reduction targets that likely won’t be scalable and affordable until after 2030; however, the sector as a whole is better positioned than other parts of the economy to meet or exceed Canada’s 2030 emissions reduction targets.
Recommendations on principles to guide the implementation of an oil and gas cap Submission to the Net-Zero Advisory Body
The Government of Canada has committed to setting a cap on emissions generated by the oil and gas sector at a pace and scale needed to achieve net-zero by 2050. In this submission, the Pembina Institute provides key principles for setting the oil and gas cap, setting 2025 and 2030 targets, and developing the regulatory pathway to ensure these targets are met or exceeded.
