Kenney was joined by oilsands executives on a trip to the U.S. capital this week aimed at dispelling negative perceptions about the Canadian energy industry south of the border and to promote the sector’s ambitious plan to slash greenhouse gas emissions to reach net zero by 2050.
“To be blunt, we know that there is a view amongst some in Washington and elsewhere, that the Canadian oilsands are not a responsible producer or source of hydrocarbon energy,” Kenney said. Kenney made the comments while flanked by key members of the Pathways Alliance — formerly known as the Oil Sands Pathway to Net Zero Alliance — a coalition of six major oil producers proposing a multibillion-dollar carbon capture and storage system in northern Alberta capable of sequestering 22 million tonnes of GHG emissions annually from the oil sands by 2030; the alliance includes Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial Oil, MEG Energy and Suncor Energy.
