Canada's largest oil sands producers are working together to address climate change through the Pathways Alliance. The six companies, including Ipieca members Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips and Suncor Energy, operate about 95% of Canada's oil sands production.
The Pathways Alliance organization brings together an ambitious plan to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA)'s environmental innovation work focused on reducing industry's impacts to air, water and land while accelerating tailings reclamation, and the Oil Sands Community Alliance (OSCA)'s long-standing commitment of being a collaborative partner in the community to help manage socioeconomic impacts and benefits.
The initiative is a crucial enabler to meeting Canada's climate commitments and requires unprecedented collaboration, shared investment, and research and development on new and emerging technologies between industry and government.
