The First Nations say the project proposed by the Pathways Alliance is ‘massive’ and ‘unprecedented’ and poses potential risks to both the environment and human health
Eight First Nations in Alberta are asking that the massive carbon capture and storage project proposed by a consortium of oil sands companies be reviewed under the federal Impact Assessment Act.
The Pathways Alliance group of oil sands companies is proposing to build a $16.5-billion carbon capture and storage network to trap emissions from more than 20 oil sands facilities and transport them 400 kilometres away by pipeline to an underground storage hub in the Cold Lake area. But the First Nations say the project’s potential impact on reserve land and Indigenous territory means it should be subject to federal review instead.
