"The first set of deadlines included in the energy and climate deal struck between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are not expected to be met, showing early challenges with the agreement that includes pursuing a new export pipeline from Alberta to the West Coast."
"Smith described delays in negotiations when CBC News asked her about the issue on Monday in Houston, Texas, where the premier is attending CERAWeek by S&P Global, an international energy conference."
"The Oilsands Alliance is a consortium of companies that have pledged to reach net-zero emissions. The centrepiece of their plan is the Pathways project, which would capture emissions from 20 oilsands facilities in northern Alberta."
"The facility would be built in phases between 2027 and 2040. The companies behind the project have not made a final investment decision."
The energy and climate deal between Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith faces early challenges, with initial deadlines not expected to be met. The memorandum of understanding includes exemptions from federal environmental laws and support for a new oil pipeline to the B.C. coast. Key agreements on impact assessments, methane equivalency, and carbon pricing are in progress, but negotiations on the industrial carbon tax and the Pathways carbon capture project are proving difficult. The Pathways project aims to capture emissions from oilsands facilities and store them underground.
