RBC's Climate Crunch newsletter looks at Canada's push to turn carbon management into an economic advantage. The piece covers Alberta's plan to set a carbon credit floor reaching $60 a tonne by 2030, new funding for waste heat to power developer Kanin Energy, and a proposed U.S. permitting bill that could shorten interconnection timelines. It also flags a gap in methane reporting, with aerial measurements showing oil and gas emissions roughly 1.5 times the official figure. Canada is also working on an Article 6 framework that would let foreign buyers finance domestic emission reduction projects and count the reductions toward their own targets. That could open a new funding channel for agriculture and nature based offsets, though Canada currently hosts only 3 of 250 Verra agriculture offset projects. The report is worth reading for anyone tracking carbon market policy, project finance, or methane regulation in North America.
