Oil companies said Tuesday they planned to ramp up their output in Canada, throwing a wrench in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s efforts to slash greenhouse gas emissions.
Currently the world’s sixth largest oil producer, Canada expects to hike production by 32 percent to 5.1 million barrels per day by 2030, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.
The additional output will come entirely from the Alberta oil sands.
Trudeau was criticized by the energy sector this year for suggesting a need to “phase out” oil sands production, which is Canada’s top single source of CO2 and its fasting growing.
“We need to manage the transition off of our dependence on fossil fuels,” he said in January, two months after approving two new pipelines to the United States and to Pacific tidewater.
