"You can just see the brainpower heading south," said Ken Seitz, the CEO of Saskatoon-based Nutrien Inc., adding the tax credits and subsidies offered through act are drawing investment dollars south of the border when it comes to things like renewable energy and carbon capture and storage.

Using taxpayer dollars, the federal government and fossil fuel companies are pushing forward carbon capture projects in Canada’s oil and gas sector.

Canadian oil and gas companies facing a federally imposed emissions cap will decide to cut their production rather than invest in too-expensive carbon capture and storage technology, a new report by Deloitte says.

The question of who should bear the financial risk for pricey carbon capture and storage projects has become a stumbling block slowing the technology's adoption in Canada.

A massive carbon capture project in Canada’s oilsands should require an environmental impact assessment, say a local First Nation and environmental groups who are calling on the provincial government to make it happen.

Canada's energy minister is defending carbon capture and storage technology as both effective and affordable, after an Alberta power company walked away from a planned project and a study found that another project got public subsidies to cover more than three-quarters of its costs.

COP29 could make carbon markets permanent. Indigenous leaders are calling for a moratorium before it's too late.

Saskatchewan's Boundary Dam project continues to miss emissions reduction goals, raising questions about the cost-effectiveness of the technology, says a report.

The popular narrative suggests that tackling methane emissions is the “low-hanging fruit” in the climate-solutions toolbox. The belief that turning off the taps on this “super-pollutant” could “buy us time” to address the climate crisis is widespread, shared by politicians, journalists, and even some scientists.

At least 1,300 employees of organizations representing fossil fuel interests registered to attend this year's United Nations climate talks in Dubai, more than three times the number found in an Associated Press analysis of last year's talks, as new rules took effect requiring attendees to disclose their employment.

Canada's ongoing political battle between climate action and the economic benefits of the oil and gas industry will be on full display today as the CEO of oilsands giant Suncor appears at a House of Commons committee.

Techniques such as solar radiation management may have unintended consequences, experts say

Starting Saturday, July 1, 2023, the federal government's long-promised clean fuel regulations take effect across Canada. Here are five things to know about what they are, how they will affect you and why they are different from the carbon price.

Sweden's bid to join the NATO military alliance while a war rages in Ukraine and Russia deals with the fallout from a revolt set the stage on Monday for a meeting of Nordic leaders in Iceland, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in attendance.

Alberta's new climate plan drew criticism this week for its lack of interim emissions reduction targets, but proponents of carbon capture and storage technology say it's important to be realistic about how quickly major projects can be deployed.
