    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Pathways Alliance, a consortium of the country’s six largest oilsands companies, says engineering and other work is ongoing for the proposed project in northeastern Alberta, with about 250 employees.

    The IEA report isn’t dissuading the Alberta government from announcing new financial support for the carbon capture sector, which Premier Danielle Smith is expected to unveil on Tuesday.

    “So far, we haven’t seen the kinds of investments that are needed to actually make these carbon capture projects a reality, but we have seen some progress in terms of permitting,” said Jan Gorski, program director for oil and gas at the Pembina Institute, a clean energy think-tank.

    Cold Lake Mayor Craig Copeland is a firm supporter of the Pathways project, especially because he expects it will help fill hotel rooms, restaurants and other businesses.

    There have been pipeline spills in the past, along with other impacts to the First Nations’ land because of nearby oilpatch activity and other development, including a the Canadian Armed Forces air weapons range.

    “Honestly, we can’t envision moving forward with any major infrastructure project without great partnership from Indigenous communities,” said Pathways president Kendall Dilling.
