CALGARY — Global energy giant Royal Dutch Shell is urging Canada's largest oil and gas organization to get off the fence and support both the Paris climate accord and the pricing of carbon to encourage greenhouse gas emission reductions. In a new report, Shell says it has reviewed its relationships with 19 industry associations around the world and decided to leave one of them, the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, because of"material misalignment."It found some misalignment with nine others, including the Calgary-based Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers .
In the report, Shell says CAPP is out of line because it doesn't comment on the Paris accord, nor does it publicly support federal and provincial carbon pricing frameworks in Canada.
