The Pathways members have collectively pledged to work together to reduce the sector’s absolute emissions by 22 million tonnes by 2030 and to reach net-zero by 2050

Stand.Earth’s international program director Tzeporah Berman called the presence of Pathways at the Canada Pavilion “embarrassing,” arguing in a series of tweets that the sector has a history of failed promises when it comes to the environment and climate change.

It’s the first time a pledge like that has been made, and Mr. Dilling said the sector now realizes its very future depends on it. The group is also planning an additional $7.6-billion investment in other major emissions-reduction projects and technologies, including hydrogen development and steam reduction.

“We’re sort of in that awkward position right now where people are saying we’re not spending enough, and we’re saying we’re doing everything we possibly can to advance this project,” he said. “We’re spending tens and hundreds of millions, and that will soon become billions, but that ramp-up takes a couple years.”

“We’re certainly not sitting on our laurels,” Mr. Dilling said. “We’re doing everything we can to ensure all this front-end work is progressing so that when we finally get these final pieces nailed down, we’re not already behind.”
