Energy Minister Sonya Savage, speaking to CAPP, says even as an increased amount of alternative energy enters the energy mix, all credible forecasts are optimistic for growth, maintaining O&G dominance.
The ESG Secretariat will inform the work of the war room, aka the Canadian Energy Centre, Savage says.
On carbon capture utilization and storage, Savage said the province and federal governments are in cooperation. There is a working group to maximize CCUS.
Savage mentions blue hydrogen several times today, part of the UCP's natural gas strategy that uses CCUS
On pipeline capacity/upcoming projects, Savage also says she is optimistic. "I think we're in a good place."
On public messaging for Canada being the oil supplier of choice, Savage says when she was in industry she asked where industry associations were for advocacy. When working for an industry association she asked where government's advocacy was. She said all must advocate.
Savage said CAPP is the point of contact to make sure their policies are on the right track. (Quite telling).
