Design Changes to the Investment Tax Credit for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage Submission to Department of Finance Canada
Pembina Institute submission to the Department of Finance Canada on the proposed design of its investment tax credit (ITC) for carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) projects. Public investments in CCUS must be weighed against other opportunities to drive emissions reductions in Canada on a tonne (of carbon dioxide equivalent not emitted) per dollar invested basis. As such, we support the current level of the investment tax credit (ITC) for carbon capture, but not increasing it.
Options to cap and cut oil and gas sector greenhouse gas emissions Submission to Environment and Climate Change Canada

To do its fair share, Canada’s oil and gas sector must also reduce its emissions by 45% from 2005 levels by 2030.
