Canada West Foundation's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, the Canada West Foundation reported emissions related to oil sands operations, with an emission intensity of approximately 0.0159 kg CO2e per barrel for mining and extraction activities. Additionally, exploration and production activities had an emission intensity of about 100 kg CO2e per barrel of oil equivalent. Currently, there are no specified reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by the Canada West Foundation. This indicates a potential area for development in their climate commitments, as the foundation may need to establish clear goals to address their carbon footprint effectively. Overall, while specific emissions data is available, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that the Canada West Foundation may be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy.
