Newfoundland and Labrador is betting its financial future on the hundreds of millions of barrels of oil buried off its coast. Here's what that looks like.
On Tuesday, Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Inc., an organization which represents eight Mi’gmaq communities in New Brunswick, announced it was joining the lawsuit against the federal government for its approval of the Bay du Nord oil project.
Long discussed but rarely used, carbon capture and storage projects — which bury waste CO2 underground — are on the rise globally. Some scientists see the technology as a necessary tool in reducing emissions, but others say it simply perpetuates the burning of fossil fuels.
Eight oil and gas companies are planning hundreds of expansion projects in the coming years, even as the world is already on track to burn through its remaining carbon budget, a new report finds.
Although the operation of Bay du Nord will emit less carbon than its oilsands counterparts during production, once that oil is burned, the emissions are all the same.
Days before the federal government is set to make a decision on a $6.8-billion oil project off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, environmentalists are poking holes in the company's environmental claims and urging Ottawa to reject the proposal.
In terms of where Equinor missed the mark, the review said many of the company’s conclusions on effects from the project were taken from areas away from the site.
