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.
