CALGARY — Canadian oil and gas companies facing a federally imposed emissions cap will decide to cut their production rather than invest in too-expensive carbon capture and storage technology, a new report by Deloitte says.

The Alberta government-commissioned report — a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press — aims to assess the economic impact of the proposed cap.

Globally, oil demand is growing, with the International Energy Agency forecasting global oil demand to be 3.2 million barrels per day higher in 2030 than in 2023, though the agency also suggests growing supply will outstrip demand growth sometime this decade. The oil and gas industry itself has been promoting carbon capture and storage as the key to reducing emissions while still increasing production. The oilsands industry, which is responsible for the bulk of Canada's overall oil and gas sector emissions, has proposed spending $16.5-billion on a massive carbon capture and storage network for northern Alberta.

"It is important to note that once implemented, the investment in CCS is irreversible," the report states.
