The Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, has urged the government of the major oil-producing province of Alberta to deploy its budget surplus to bolstering tax credits meant to help in scaling up carbon capture and storage as well as reducing emissions.
Trudeau gave the advice during an interview with Reuters. He said: “We’ve seen for a while Alberta hesitating around investing in anything related to climate change. But CCUS is one of those tangible things.
“I think there’s a role for provinces with surpluses, with the capacity to be investing in their future and their workers future,” he said in his first media interview of 2023.
“We know that there is no path to net zero in Canada, Alberta, or anywhere globally without CCUS, and we are looking to CCUS to assist in the de-carbonizing of all sectors of our economy.”
During the interview, Trudeau slammed his main rival, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, for describing Canada as “broken”.
He said Poilievre is “not proposing solutions,” but instead, he is “trying to harvest a level of political anger that leads nowhere, as unfortunately we saw in the United States over the past years.”
