The anti-greenwashing portion of the federal bill C-59 has clear implications for claims made by oil and gas companies about carbon capture, utilization and storage technology

Using taxpayer dollars, the federal government and fossil fuel companies are pushing forward carbon capture projects in Canada’s oil and gas sector.

The question of who should bear the financial risk for pricey carbon capture and storage projects has become a stumbling block slowing the technology's adoption in Canada.

A massive carbon capture project in Canada’s oilsands should require an environmental impact assessment, say a local First Nation and environmental groups who are calling on the provincial government to make it happen.

Canada's energy minister is defending carbon capture and storage technology as both effective and affordable, after an Alberta power company walked away from a planned project and a study found that another project got public subsidies to cover more than three-quarters of its costs.

We need significantly more money now and into the future to shift the economy away from the production and consumption of fossil fuels.

A status-quo fiscal statement suggests climate change is an afterthought for Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland following the wildfire crises felt by Canadians this summer, a new economic update suggests.

The report released Tuesday says the worldwide rollout of key technologies such as renewable power, electric vehicles and heat pumps is happening so quickly that demand for coal, oil and natural gas is set to peak within the next 10 years.

Canada’s oil and gas industry says the costly technology it plans to use to reduce its climate footprint requires more investments from the federal government. If governments lend a hand now, the industry maintains the technology will become more affordable over time as more projects proceed, but a new analysis casts doubt on that claim.

The oil industry keeps stringing everyone along with its promise to invest in carbon capture. But with little to show for its talk and Canada's 2030 climate targets getting closer by the day, it's time for Ottawa to step in, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

That's well before the completion of a massive carbon capture and storage transportation line that has been proposed for the Canadian oilsands, the company says.

The upcoming 2023 federal budget is expected to include significant investments in the clean economy as an answer to the bold climate spending of U.S. President Joe Biden.

Cenovus Energy Inc. chief executive Alex Pourbaix will step down from his CEO role later this year to devote more time to his evolving role as an outspoken champion of Canada's oilsands industry and its decarbonization ambitions.

MPs are questioning the federal government about its sizable investments in carbon capture following new research on the state of the technology in Canada.

As part of a new Canada’s National Observer series breaking down climate basics, we delved into some common questions about carbon capture. Here is everything you need to know about the contentious technology governments and industry are banking on.
