Environmental groups call on feds to not ‘water down’ oil and gas emissions cap

Environmental groups call on feds to not ‘water down’ oil and gas emissions cap

As environmental groups urge the federal government to move quickly with an aggressive cap on emissions from the country’s oil and gas sector, the industry itself says such a move could actually slow down the sector’s own decarbonization efforts.

With world leaders preparing to head to Egypt next month for the 27th United Nations climate conference, environmentalists say now is the time for the Trudeau government to announce the specific targets it plans to impose on the oil and gas sector in order to ensure Canada meets its climate commitments.

Canada will meet its emissions targets, this time

Canada will meet its emissions targets, this time

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday he will guarantee that Canada is going to meet its latest climate target, because this time it’s accompanied by a plan that shows how to get there.
Since 1988, Canada has set its sights on eight different greenhouse gas emissions targets. Six of them have come and gone, and Canada never came anywhere close to meeting them.
The next target is set for 2030, and requires Canada to get emissions to 55 to 60 per cent of what they were in 2005. That’s a more-ambitious version of a previous target the Trudeau government set when it came into power. 

Prairie Lithium converts exploration permits to lithium leases, working on delineating resource in SE Sask

Prairie Lithium converts exploration permits to lithium leases, working on delineating resource in SE Sask

EMERALD PARK – When you’re first exploring for minerals in Saskatchewan, you take out an exploration permit on the lands you’re looking at. And when you’re serious about doing something with those lands, you convert those lands into leases. This is typically done by drilling a well.
But before you get into a major, multi-well drilling program, it’s important to delineate your resource, figuring out just how far out your resource extends. Is it a one-well wonder, or prolific?
These are all things Prairie Lithium Corporation is doing right now in the Torquay area, seeking to develop lithium from brines deep in Saskatchewan’s sedimentary geology.  

Some risks too big: Insurers withdraw from fossil projects

Some risks too big: Insurers withdraw from fossil projects

BERLIN (AP) — Insurance companies that have long said they’ll cover anything, at the right price, are increasingly ruling out fossil fuel projects because of climate change — to cheers from environmental campaigners.

More than a dozen groups that track what policies insurers have on high-emissions activities say the industry is turning its back on oil, gas and coal.

Jim Warren: If capital is short for oil and gas investment, maybe its time to revisit a provincial sovereign wealth fund

Jim Warren: If capital is short for oil and gas investment, maybe its time to revisit a provincial sovereign wealth fund

We are currently looking forward to a $500 good-times resource dividend. This suggests our provincial government is capable of generating a significant pool of money that could be invested in fossil fuel development and potentially make us even more money. There is nothing new about the idea. The heritage fund schemes developed in the 1970s were intended to support economic development and diversification initiatives as well as serve as rainy day funds.

Condolences roll in as union calls for inquiry into fatal Newfoundland refinery fire

Condolences are rolling in for a man who died Saturday after an explosion last month at a former Newfoundland oil refinery.

Premier Andrew Furey and federal Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan both tweeted on Sunday their sorrow over the worker’s death. Furey urged workers and their families to avail themselves of mental health services, and he sent condolences to the man’s family, friends and colleagues.

Sask Chamber says it is “proud to be a leading voice in Saskatchewan pushing the move to a low carbon economy”

With this support for the O&G sector in mind, it is important to the note that the Saskatchewan business community is still actively working on the transition to a low carbon economy and has, in some instances been a world leader in its environmental protection. The SCC is proud to be a leading voice in Saskatchewan pushing the move to a low carbon economy. Our positions on how Saskatchewan businesses, with the support of the Governments of Canada and of Saskatchewan, can successfully make this transition, are available in our 2021 document, Building the Low Carbon Economy: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges for Saskatchewan.

Official: China mining more coal but increasing wind, solar

Official: China mining more coal but increasing wind, solar

BEIJING (AP) — China plans to boost coal production through 2025 to avoid a repeat of last year’s power shortages, an official said Monday, adding to setbacks in efforts to cut climate-changing carbon emissions from the biggest global source.

China is a big investor in wind and solar, but jittery Communist Party leaders called for more coal-fired power after economic growth slumped last year and shortages caused blackouts. That prompted warnings that carbon emissions will rise faster through 2030, when they government says they should peak.

The ruling party aims for annual coal production to rise to 4.6 billion tons in 2025, a deputy director of the Cabinet’s National Energy Administration, Ren Jingdong, said at a news conference held during a ruling party congress. That would be a 12% increase over last year’s 4.1 billion tons.

Weekend Watch: Lessons of Darkness – Werner Herzog’s documentary on the Kuwuait oil fires

Herzog is an accomplished documentary filmmaker, and this is one of his works from 1992. If you watch closely, you’ll see Canada’s Safety Boss. In just 200 days, the Safety Boss team brought 180 wells under control – outperforming all other crews in the field including such industry legends at Red Adair and Boots & Coots. That’s about a quarter of the over 700 oilwells set on fire by the retreating Iraqi army in 1991.
