The Energy Evolution: Alberta & The Path to Net Zero


Listen Later

Alberta has a unique emissions profile in Canada. As the centre of much of the nation's energy production, Alberta is a significant emitter of greenhouse gas emissions.

But that fact also points to the opportunity that is found in Alberta to move the needle on emissions reduction efforts in Canada.

In early 2022, the Business Council of Alberta released a report called A Low-Carbon Industrial Strategy for Alberta, which outlines a clear pathway for Alberta and Canada to seize this opportunity. The report's recommendations highlight the need for a tailored plan for Alberta and what actions are needed from business leaders and what policy supports are needed from policymakers at all levels of government to realize Canada's climate goals.

Al Reid, former Director of the Pathways Alliance and former co-chair of BCA's Energy & Environment Committee, joins co-hosts Brittany Brander and Scott Crockatt to break down the report and its recommendations for industry and government, why a tailored strategy for Alberta is important, the importance of bringing energy security back into the conversation, and more.
