As Husky produces and transports conventional oil and gas at facilities that will be subject to methane regulation being developed as part of the Saskatchewan Climate Change Plan, it is engaging with government on regulation design and implantation that will meet the Federal government’s expectation for equivalency. Husky’s goal is to support achievement of government’s targets while minimizing the costs to industry. New regulation should provide credit for early actions taken to reduce emissions.

Husky engages with the government on the design of the Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gasses Regulations (the “large emitter program”) under the Saskatchewan Climate Change Plan. Husky’s goal is a regulation that drives emissions reductions while preserving Saskatchewan’s competitiveness in attracting investment, specifically for energy intensive, trade exposed facilities like those covered by large emitter program, and for small emitters that wish to opt into the large emitter program.
