We wrote about a significant challenge we see ahead for Canada’s CCS industry - pipelines! Just as the automotive industry relies on road infrastructure, the CCS industry will rely on pipeline infrastructure to move CO2 from where it is captured to where it can be stored

Our research suggests Canada's net zero economy will need CCS. But it could be a lack of CO2 pipelines that constrains development of a CCS industry. Early investment in shared pipeline infrastructure is critical to unlock this opportunity. Read more here: naviusresearch.com/publicati…

Our research suggests Canada's net zero economy will need CCS. There is a significant CCS opportunity in Canada, and not only in western provinces. Our net zero scenarios see development of a CCS industry in Ontario and Quebec as well. For more, visit: naviusresearch.com/publicati…

NEW RESEARCH! Our simulations consistently find that CCS will play an important role in helping Canada to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. For more, visit: naviusresearch.com/publicati…

To achieve Canada’s new 2030 emissions target, new vehicle sales will be increasingly zero emission. By 2030, our simulations estimate up to 45% of new passenger vehicle sales will be battery electric, and up to 25% of new heavy-duty sales will be battery electric or H2 fuel cell

Across >100 scenarios we simulated of Canada's new 2030 emissions target, the carbon price to achieve this target ranges from $250-321/tCO2e in 2030. This suggests that policy additional to the current fed C tax schedule of $170/tCO2e by 2030 will be necessary to meet this target

We simulated >100 scenarios of Canada's new 2030 emissions target. Our modeling suggests that we can achieve this target, but it won't be easy. All sectors will need to contribute

In April, Canada announced a new, more ambitious 2030 emissions target. We have a history of setting climate targets like this, but have yet to meet one. Our modeling suggests this target won't be an easy one to achieve, but can provide guidance on what's needed to get there

We simulated >200 scenarios of Canada's recently announced carbon price. In our assessment, this policy gets Canada on track to achieve (or exceed) its 2030 emissions target.

We did an analysis of Canada’s recently announced carbon price by simulating >200 scenarios with this policy. Our projections show Canada’s GDP will grow by 1.9% - 2.1% annually between now and 2030 under the new carbon price.

We ran out of #aluminum foil, so went to the grocery store and bought 10% more ( -390%). Supporting Canada's aluminum industry in the face of irrational US policy. #cdnpoli

Canada needs to reduce emissions by an additional 134 Mt from current policy to achieve our 2030 climate target. Here is where we've identified these reductions can come from - and for the lowest cost naviusresearch.com/publicati…

Our recent analysis of Canada's Clean Fuel Standard estimates the policy will achieve much less than 30 Mt of emission reductions for Canada #CdnPoli policyoptions.irpp.org/magaz…

How good are oil price forecasters? Not very :) (Sorry @EIAgov, you are still the best at what you do!)
