Alberta's environment minister said Canada's proposed oil and gas emissions cap is a stumbling block in the province's discussions with the federal government about clean-energy policies including in carbon capture and storage (CCS) needed to meet Canada's ambitious 2030 climate targets.
Canada, the world's fourth-largest oil producer, lags many global peers in tackling emissions, jeopardizing the goal of Trudeau's Liberal government to cut greenhouse gas output by least 40% from 2005 levels by 2030.
Smith also wants Ottawa to halt plans for clean electricity regulations and a "Just Transition" act, intended to retrain oil and gas workers for clean energy jobs. If Ottawa pushes through the oil and gas cap ahead of the provincial election it will get lost "in the spiral of politics," said Andrew Leach, a professor of economics and law at the University of Alberta.
Last year, a European Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research report showed Canada's emissions rose in 2021, and have only fallen 3% since 2005, meaning the country needs to pack nearly all its decarbonization into eight years to meet its 2030 target.
