C-NLOPB Releases Inaugural Annual Emissions Reduction Initiatives Report

For Immediate Release
February 27, 2023

The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board (C-NLOPB) is pleased to release its inaugural Annual Emissions Reduction Initiatives Report for the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Area.

At the request of the Minister of Natural Resources Canada and the Newfoundland and Labrador Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, the C-NLOPB compiled the report, which describes work undertaken in 2022 by the oil and gas industry and others in the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Area towards the reduction of Greenhouse Gases and achieving Net Zero emissions.

The information in the report was provided by local operators, industry associations and research entities in response to a request by the C-NLOPB to outline their emissions reduction commitments and goals, highlight progress to date, and describe research and development projects that may lead to reduced emissions from petroleum-related activities in the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Area.

“Climate change is among the greatest global challenges of our generation and a top priority of the public interest in which we regulate, on behalf of the Governments and the people of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador. The C-NLOPB thanks local operators, industry associations and research entities for their contributions to the inaugural Annual Emissions Reduction Initiatives Report. We look forward to continued work with those we regulate, governments, Indigenous groups and stakeholders as the industry reduces its Greenhouse Gas Emissions to reach Net Zero. – Scott Tessier, CEO
