The oil industry and the Alberta government say Ottawa’s removal of gaseous and solid fuels from Canada’s long-awaited federal Clean Fuel Standard will avoid an exodus of investment in the fossil fuel sector.
The federal Liberals’ climate change plan, released last Friday, proposed to triple the carbon tax and spend more than $15-billion to pass Canada’s 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. But it also significantly dialled back its original plans for the Clean Fuel Standard – a complicated policy to provide emissions reduction incentives and create a credits-trading market – narrowing its scope to focus only on liquid fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel and oil.
