ConocoPhillips Canada is pleased to join the Oil Sands Pathways to Net Zero alliance. The Pathways initiative was established with the goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil sands operations by 2050.

“Meeting the world’s energy demand during a transition to a lower-carbon future requires an approach that recognizes the need to reduce emissions, operate responsibly and offer competitive returns,” says ConocoPhillips Canada president Bij Agarwal. “We are excited to partner collaboratively with other alliance members and governments to accelerate efforts to bring about meaningful emissions reductions. We are fully committed to putting our ESG leadership into action by investing in the advancement of transformational technologies.”

ConocoPhillips Canada vice president Health, Safety and Environment & Sustainable Development James Makowecki adds: “Climate change is a critical challenge and that’s why we are working to be part of the solution. We are excited to be part of this alliance as it develops an actionable approach to address emissions, while also preserving the oil sands’ contribution to Canada’s economy.”

The alliance, which includes Canadian Natural Resources, Cenovus Energy, ConocoPhillips Canada, Imperial, MEG Energy and Suncor Energy, operates facilities representing about 95 per cent of Canada's oil sands production.
