The Narwhal's carbon capture topic page tracks the gap between Canadian political promises and actual emissions removed. The latest reporting covers the Pathways Project in Alberta, a proposed network that oilsands companies and politicians have promoted as a decarbonization fix. As of the most recent estimates, it would capture around six million tonnes a year by 2035, roughly six percent of the oilsands' 2024 output. One key stat: oilsands emissions in 2024 exceeded everything Canadian carbon capture projects removed in the previous 25 years. The page also follows direct air capture plans in Manitoba, including the Deep Sky project, plus explainers on enhanced oil recovery and scope 3 emissions. It is a useful hub for anyone tracking whether carbon capture is delivering real reductions or just subsidizing continued fossil fuel production.
