Alberta Climate Leadership Plan – Carbon pricing

Carbon pricing

• A price on carbon provides an incentive for everyone to reduce greenhouse gas pollution that causes climate change.
• Alberta will phase in this pricing in two steps.
  • $20/tonne economy-wide in January 2017
  • $30/tonne economy-wide in January 2018
• An overall oil sands emission limit of 100 megatonnes will be set, with provisions for new upgrading and co-generation.
