"...A signature carbon capture and storage project in Saskatchewan continues to miss emissions reduction goals, raising questions about the cost-effectiveness of the technology, says a report. "We don't think carbon capture works as well as industry and promoters claim," said David Schissel, an analyst who wrote the report for the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, an international non-profit agency. "We don't think it's a good use of money to keep coal-fired power plants running..."

"...“AAFC’s contributions to reduce emissions … are integral to the fight against climate change, which is why setting targets and tracking results are so important,” said DeMarco in a statement. “Given the current climate crisis and limited results thus far, AAFC will need to ensure that all its expected reductions in greenhouse gas emissions for 2030 take place in the six growing seasons that remain. ” Agriculture is responsible for about 10 per cent of Canada's emissions; it is a major source of methane and nitrous oxide, which are potent GHGs..."
