The new information shows that in 2021 GHG emissions were over eight per cent lower than in 2005. However, to reach the federal government’s 2030 climate targets – a 40-45 per cent reduction from 2005 levels – significantly more reductions are needed. This is thanks to fuel economy regulations and more electric vehicles on the roads.

Environmental Protection Agency has proposed more stringent methane regulations for the oil and gas industry that would dramatically curb emissions of the potent greenhouse gas. oil and gas sector by 87 percent below 2005 levels by the end of the decade, the agency said.

By coincidence rather than design, two different approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector have been under discussion by North Carolina agencies since 2021. The two approaches share goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 70% by 2030 (from a 2005 baseline) and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

That’s because the case, which was about the nature and scope of EPA authority in regulating carbon emissions from existing power plants, turned on a rule that does not exist. Because while this decision does still recognize EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, it simultaneously sharply curtails the agency’s ability to do so.

However, it is a much-awaited step in the right direction as the federal government moves to cap greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the highest polluting industry in Canada. The next step is the release of the draft regulations, by April 2024. The emissions cap regulation has already been delayed repeatedly.

The world’s (and Canada’s) current policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not ambitious enough. The Government of Canada has committed to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 40-45 per cent from 2005 levels, by 2030. This framework will set the foundation for what we can expect in the draft regulations next year.
