Environmental Groups Demand Comprehensive Environmental Assessment of Oilsands Carbon Capture Project

Environmental organizations and concerned parties have jointly requested a comprehensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) for a proposed $16.5-billion carbon capture and storage project in Alberta’s oilsands region. The project, proposed by the Pathways Alliance, aims to capture and transport emissions from over 20 oilsands facilities. However, the groups argue that the proposed project’s scale warrants a full-scale EIA rather than the phased evaluation approach currently underway by the Alberta Energy Regulator.
