This infographic serves as a brief update to our original September 2022 publication, Waiting to Launch: The gap between Canadian oilsands companies’ climate pledges and actions.
Over the course of 2022, the Pathways Alliance — an industry grouping representing some 95% of production in Canada’s oilsands — continued to promote its three-phase plan to get oilsands operations to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. However, most details of this plan remain undisclosed, and since Pathways was established (in 2021), there have been no significant allocations of funding or investment decisions made to support the urgent progress that is required to substantially reduce emissions from the sector this decade.
