Ottawa will need other ways to cut emissions to compensate for oil pipeline: Farrell
Dawn Farrell told Canada’s environment committee that Ottawa will need additional emissions cuts to meet its climate goals.
Farrell said the Pathways carbon capture project is expected to reduce emissions by 16 million tonnes annually.
Environment Canada estimated that moving an additional million barrels of oil daily through the proposed Pacific Link pipeline would increase emissions by 27.7 million tonnes annually.
Canada still needs to cut emissions by 227 million tonnes to meet its 2030 Paris Agreement target, according to 2024 estimates.
