Canada to miss net-zero 2050 emissions goal without further action

The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, faces the challenge of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The Canadian Energy Regulator (CER) has published three scenarios for the target, but has yet to make any recommendations. The report highlights that further action is needed across industries and provinces to contribute to achieving this goal. Due to high oil prices, Canadian oil production will continue to grow until the end of the decade, with the most optimistic scenario seeing crude oil production peak in 2026. The third scenario is that oil production peaks in 2035. If Canada achieves net-zero emissions by 2050, it will generate electricity using zero- or low-emissions technologies, doubling electricity demand by 2050.
