The new plan will lead to a regulatory emissions cap for the oil and gas industry to ensure B.C. meets its 2030 emissions reduction target for the sector
As well, the action plan requires all proposed LNG facilities that are already in or entering the environmental assessment process to include a credible plan to be net zero for emissions by 2030. And, the Crown-owned utility, BC Hydro, has been directed to accelerate the electrification of the provincial economy by powering more homes, businesses and industries with renewable electricity.
“The need to cut emissions from the oil and gas sector was a major gap in the B.C. climate plan, and the announcement today closes that gap,” he said.
