Smith says she wants to see Alberta and B.C. \u0022pioneer\u0022 a way to use Article 6 to spur more natural\u002Dgas export projects that would supply Asia and reduce carbon emissions there
In an attempt to spur more LNG export projects on the West Coast, Smith said she and B.C. Premier David Eby began a discussion two weeks ago to explore leveraging Article 6 of the United Nations Paris Accord, which allows Canada to gain carbon credits for reducing emissions abroad.
“I feel like this is an integral part of a global strategy for emissions reduction, and I think that Alberta has an obligation as the owner of the resource in our province to take a lead making sure we build that consensus,” Smith said.Article content Speaking earlier this week, Eby confirmed he was speaking with other premiers about the LNG opportunity and the awareness that there is a global demand for Canadian natural gas internationally.
“It takes eight to nine years to fulfil a request from industry for the kind of electricity that they’re looking for,” Eby said. “It takes about the same time to go through the call for power all the way through to generation and transmission.”Article contentEby said a task force had been set up to do exactly that, to ensure B.C. does not miss LNG’s economic opportunity.
