Oil Sands Alliance to focus on energy industry sustainability, advancing net zero ambitions
Canada’s largest oilsands companies have formed a new advocacy group they say will help to advance the sustainable development and operation of their industry.
The Oil Sands Alliance was established Jan. 1, with membership consisting of oilsands producers Suncor Energy Inc., Cenovus Energy Inc., Imperial Energy Ltd., Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. and ConocoPhillips.
It is not clear whether the new organization will be involved in political lobbying or how exactly it will be structured.
Al Reid, director of the Oil Sands Pathways to Net Zero alliance — which, along with other already existing groups like the Oil Sands Community Alliance (OSCA), Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA), and the Regional Oil Sands Operating Alliance, will be overseen by the new organization — said more details will be released soon.
