Capping Potential Blowouts

28 Oct 2024

This policy brief argues that Canada's proposed oil and gas emissions cap is needed but cautions that some of the proposed compliance flexibilities may—instead of making the cap easier to achieve—amount to avenues for weakening it. In particular, the brief cautions that the proposed use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes (ITMOs) and a Decarbonization Fund are ill-advised and that the use of domestic offsets needs to be approached with caution.
