The Energy Transition Ahead: Examining the Impact of Canada’s Emissions Cap
- 11:45 AM - 12:30 PM
- Strategic Conference, Main Stage
Canada’s emissions cap that will be phased in from 2023 to 2026 aims to limit emissions from the oil and gas sector at 35 to 38 per cent below 2019 levels. However, many energy companies are already prioritizing reducing their emissions with six of Canada’s largest oil and gas producers collaborating to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from their combined operations by 22 million tonnes annually from 2021-2030. Will the emissions cap help reduce emissions without effecting production or will the regulations hinder production and have a negative impact on Canada’s overall economy?
Attendee insights
Industry leaders will debate the impact of Canada’s emissions cap and discuss how it may affect Canada’s energy industry. Delegates will hear what Canada’s energy companies are already doing to curb emissions and will see how closely these emissions reductions strategies align with Canada’s emissions cap.

How Realistic are COP28 Commitments Towards Achieving our Net- Zero Targets?
- 1:30 PM - 2:15 PM
- Strategic Conference, Main Stage
Canada has made great strides in reducing its emissions since the Global Methane Pledge was enacted in 2021. However, as other nations strive to reduce their methane emissions further, the Government of Canada has drafted amendments to its methane regulations to mirror amendments made by other nations who are committed to responsible energy production.
The government estimates the amendments will result in the emissions reduction of 217 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent from 2027 to 2040: equating to a 75% reduction of emissions from the oil and gas sector. The new rules will start rolling out in 2027 and will include the elimination of routine venting and flaring of oil and gas infrastructure, enhance leak detection and repair, and address problems such as blowdowns and other potentially large methane releases.
Attendee insights
The panelists will share insights on how Canada’s new methane regulations will impact Canada’s energy industry and will discuss how the regulations compare with the recently updated regulations from the United States, Brazil, and Egypt. Delegates will learn how these new regulations may help create new business opportunities in Canada’s clean technology sector and the impact that these new regulations will have in helping to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

How Can Canada Leverage its Competitive Advantages in the Global LNG Export Market?
- 3:30 PM - 4:15 PM
- Strategic Conference, Main Stage
Canada is the world’s fifth largest producer of natural gas and accounts for around five per cent of global production. In 2020, Canada ranked 6th in the world amongst the top global natural gas exporters but has since fallen out of the top 10.
The Canadian Energy Research Institute found that delays in Canada’s regulatory process meant that, on average, it took Canadian LNG projects 19 months longer to receive approval compared to the U.S. With the Freeport LNG project coming back online, the United States became the largest exporter of natural gas in the first quarter of 2023 and is poised to remain a top producer for the near future.
What steps will Canada need to take compete with emerging markets and how soon will it be able to ramp up its export potential?
Attendee insights
Panelists will discuss strategies for how Canada can capitalize on its LNG potential and what needs to happen for exports to increase globally. Delegates will gain insight on potential solutions for overcoming regulatory challenges and strategies for attracting more LNG investment.

Heavy-Industry Electrification and its Impact in Accelerating Decarbonization
- 2:15 PM - 2:45 PM
- Strategic Conference, Main Stage
Heavy industry accounts for nearly 20% of greenhouse emissions. Chemicals, mobility, steel, and cement are the most difficult sectors to abate with steel and cement accounting for approximately 14% of global CO2 emissions and 47% of industry’s CO2 emissions. These industries are challenging to decarbonize as their production methods are often very energy intensive and their facilities are very large and require significant energy usage.
The Lehigh Hanson cement manufacturing plant in Edmonton is installing systems and infrastructure to replace 50% of the fossil fuels used in its kiln with Alternative and Low Carbon Fuels (ALCF). The benefits will include the reduction of methane and other landfill gases, reduced emissions from transportation, and the elimination of persistent solid waste from the environment.
Attendee insights
