According to reporting in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/thenarwhal.ca\/alberta-industrial-carbon-tax-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Narwhal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Alberta is considering killing The Alberta Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction regulation (TIER program) and replacing it with a scheme that allows major industrial polluters to directly invest in unproven technology such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edmontonjournal.com\/opinion\/columnists\/opinion-what-you-wont-hear-about-carbon-capture-at-this-weeks-edmonton-convention\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">carbon capture<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and sequestration (CCS).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In place since 2020, the TIER program was implemented by former Conservative Premier Jason Kenney as a response to the federal government\u2019s carbon backstop legislation. The current program offers heavy industrial carbon emitters a choice of ways to reduce GHG emissions that simultaneously save them money while investing in clean energy technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TIER has been a successful component of the province\u2019s otherwise lacklustre performance on reducing green house gas emissions. Scrapping this program aligns Alberta with efforts in the United States where President Donald Trump is killing programs that support clean energy development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of gutting climate policy, Alberta should be assessing where future markets for clean, renewable energy will be, and strengthening our commitment to carbon reduction to access those markets. Environmental Defence strongly urges the Alberta government to leave the TIER program in place, and to build on its success to support an energy transition strategy that aligns with the worldwide trend towards a clean economy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Government of Alberta, \u201cThe TIER system implements Alberta&#8217;s industrial carbon pricing and emissions trading system. TIER helps industrial facilities find innovative ways to reduce emissions and invest in clean technology to stay competitive and save money.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alberta was one of the first jurisdictions to have an industrial carbon pricing system. The province introduced the Specified Gas Emitters Regulation (SGER) in 2007 to price carbon pollution from large emitters in the province and use the resulting revenue for investments in low-carbon technology.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to research from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/climateinstitute.ca\/news\/industrial-carbon-pricing-the-top-driver-of-emissions-reductions-new-analysis-shows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canadian Climate Institute<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Industrial carbon pricing is one of the most effective ways to reduce green house gas emissions. \u201cBy 2030, industrial carbon pricing (which includes various types of large-emitter trading systems) is projected to contribute between 23 and 39 per cent (or 53 to 90 Mt) of avoided emissions from all policies implemented to date. And between now and 2030, these large-emitter trading systems\u2014such as Ontario\u2019s emissions performance standard or Alberta\u2019s TIER system\u2014will do more than any other policy to cut emissions, delivering between 20 and 48 per cent of emissions reductions expected from Canada\u2019s Emissions Reductions Plan moving forward.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENCE (environmentaldefence.ca): Environmental Defence is a leading Canadian environmental advocacy organization that works with government, industry and individuals to defend clean water, a safe climate and healthy communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 30 \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information or to request an interview, please contact:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex Ross, Environmental Defence, media@environmentaldefence.ca<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Legault, Senior Manager for Alberta Energy Transition reaction to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith\u2019s indication that her government will scrap The Alberta Technology Innovation&#8230;<a class=\"more-link\"   href=\"https:\/\/environmentaldefence.ca\/2025\/03\/28\/statement-killing-tier-would-be-an-economic-mistake\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":47337,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2153,634,628],"tags":[15,2195],"class_list":["post-48036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alberta-energy-transition","category-climate-change","category-press-release","tag-alberta","tag-tier"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>STATEMENT: Killing TIER would be an economic mistake\u00a0 -
