PDF Version: The Federal Government’s Climate Change Policy and the Role of Carbon Capture and Storage
In April 2007 the federal government introduced a new greenhouse gas policy, Regulatory Framework for Air Emissions. On March 10, 2008, it tabled a series of additional documents: (1) Taking Action to Fight Climate Change, (2) Regulatory Framework for Industrial Greenhouse Gas Emissions, (3) Canada’s Offset System for Greenhouse Gases, (4) Canada’s Credit for Early Action Program, and (5) Detailed Emissions and Economic Modelling (all available here). These documents provide further guidance and detail on the implementation of the April 2007 proposals. Further details will be provided when the promised regulations appear in draft form but that will not happen before the fall of 2008.
