The British Columbia government says it's rolling out a new framework for approving oil and gas projects that will ensure the province meets its emissions targets in the coming decades. to have a"credible plan" for net-zero emissions by 2030 and there will be an emissions cap on the industry.
Environment Minister George Heyman said the new framework ensures industry is under"strong" emissions reduction requirements while allowing it to seize upon opportunities to use emerging clean energy technologies. "But the scale of the climate crisis and the tremendous opportunities before us mean we must act with more urgency than ever before."
Peter McCartney with the Western Canada Wilderness Committee said the announcement was"a poor cover for a brand new fossil fuel infrastructure project when the province is already not on track to meet its climate commitment." McCartney said the B.C. government approving new LNG projects makes it unlikely that the province will meet emissions targets in 2025 and 2030.
