Canada isn’t alone in confronting this problem. Norway is even more dependent on oil and gas for its economic well-being — and even more ambitious in its goals for emissions reductions.I was curious whether that paradox can survive as 2030 approaches, the year by which Norway has pledged to cut emissions by 55 per cent below 1990 levels.
But if Norway is showing that the paradox can live, it’s also showing that it can only be kept alive by considerable action, much of it led by government. Norway’s oil and gas industry is already among the cleanest in the world, in per-barrel emissions. It will become even cleaner through the electrification of offshore production platforms. Carbon taxes are so high that some of those emissions-reducing investments are already profitable.
