Canada's largest oil producers aim for a final investment decision on the Pathways carbon capture project by late 2027, targeting 6 million tonnes of emissions reduction by the mid-2030s and an additional 10 million tonnes by 2045. The project depends on finalized fiscal agreements with Alberta and federal governments, which are expected by mid-November, and is key to balancing oil production growth with emissions control.
