Fort McMurray and Cold Lake mayors celebrate Pathways carbon capture agreement for jobs and infrastructure

The mayors of Fort McMurray and Cold Lake are celebrating a new agreement that clears major hurdles for the Pathways carbon capture and storage project. The project will host carbon capture infrastructure in both communities, bringing construction and production jobs to the region. Pathways is a major initiative by Canada's oil sands producers to reduce emissions through carbon capture and storage. This agreement marks a key step forward for industrial decarbonization in Alberta. Local leaders are focused on the economic benefits, including job creation and infrastructure investment. The project is part of broader efforts to lower emissions from heavy industry while maintaining energy production.
