Pathways Alliance - Pathways to net zero

#Net #Zerp

Summary: The Pathways Alliance is a collaboration of Canada’s six largest oil sands producers which comprise 95 per cent of current oil sands production. In June 2021, they announced a comprehensive multi-phased plan to reduce current oil sands GHG emissions by about 22 million tonnes annually by 2030 on a path to net zero by 2050. The proposed foundational project is a carbon capture and storage (CCS) network and C02 pipeline to gather CO2 from more than 20 facilities and transport it to a hub in the Cold Lake area for safe underground storage.    

This presentation discusses Pathways' CCS which also enables other technologies including hydrogen, electrification, renewables and direct air capture. The innovation arm of Pathways Alliance, COSIA (Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance), is responsible for this Technology Development work.
