Canada Pledges Carbon Capture Tech as US Ditches Climate Policies

Canada's energy minister Tim Hodgson says the government's push to build carbon capture technology in the Alberta oil sands will help the industry adapt to changing environmental policies.

The Canadian and Alberta governments are working together to meet an April target to finalize details on a carbon capture plan and increase the industrial carbon price.

The Pathways Alliance, a $13.9 billion project in Alberta's oil sands, aims to take carbon produced from the oil sands and store it underground.

Hodgson said Canada is 'future proofing' its industry by investing in best-in-class technology, contrasting with the US under President Donald Trump, who has reversed environmental policies and abandoned former President Joe Biden's climate initiatives.
