Alberta’s oilsands face a 50-cent carbon cost per barrel at $130/tonne, per new Canadian study.
A new Canadian Climate Institute analysis estimates Alberta’s oilsands will face an average carbon cost of 50 cents per barrel if the price reaches $130 per tonne—about the price of a Timbit—significantly lower than earlier projections due to more accurate modeling based on actual facility emissions and emission thresholds.
The study, which covers 29 oilsands facilities, shows wide variation, with some projects paying nearly $4 per barrel while others, like Canadian Natural Resources’ Peace River, may earn credits worth $2.23 per barrel.
The findings aim to inform federal-provincial pipeline negotiations tied to a carbon pricing agreement by April 1, 2026, as Alberta’s current carbon credit market remains weakened by an oversupply and prices trading well below the $95 floor.
