To meet that goal, the International Energy Agency’s Net Zero Roadmap released in 2021 says no new oil and gas supply projects can come online. Meanwhile, annual reports show corporations are pushing ahead with plans to expand production, betting on new technologies to somehow make it all okay in the future.

Instead of projecting energy trends forward based on specified assumptions about resources, technology, and economic and policy conditions, this one takes the target of global net-zero in 2050 as a constraint, then joins the dots back to the present. Not this time. Compared to IEA’s regular reports, this study reversed the logic.

But what you probably haven’t heard is that our grid is getting dirtier again, with fossil fuels increasing in our electricity supply from burning natural gas. That means carbon emissions from electricity in Ontario will be rising back up again after years of decline. Source: IESO Annual Planning Outlook (updated Feb 2021).

Coal power, from mining to generation, is among the thirstiest and most polluting ways to produce electricity. But other low-carbon technologies do not tread as lightly. Growing trees to store carbon or harvesting plants to convert into biofuel is a commitment of land, water, and fertilizer, which can pollute rivers and aquifers.
