Western Canadians were hopeful this spring as Canada’s newly minted Prime Minister Mark Carney declared his intention to make Canada an energy superpower with the “strongest economy in the G7.”
Such bold claims were reiterated by Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, in media appearances at the Calgary Stampede. Like Carney, Hodgson especially highlighted his interest in the Pathways Alliance Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) proposal. CCS captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial operations and transfers them by pipeline to be stored deep underground. This project would supposedly help Canada meet Net Zero climate targets.
