Imperial Oil Wants More Government Aid for $16 Billion Carbon Capture Project

Industry looking for 75% tax credit rather than combined 62% on offer from Feds and Alberta

Imperial Oil Ltd., the Canadian oilsands unit of Exxon Mobil Corp., is calling for more government funding for the nation’s industry, which is embarking on a $16 billion endeavour to deploy carbon capture and storage technology and slash emissions by 2030.

The federal government is currently offering a 50 per cent tax credit and Alberta’s provincial government has proposed support of 12 per cent for the roll out of the project. The oilsands industry wants to install machinery to capture emissions and transport carbon down a new pipeline to the Cold Lake region for injection into the ground. The total current government support of 62 per cent isn’t sufficient, chief executive Brad Corson said on an investor call.“We are still in discussions with the government about the required fiscal support that would be necessary,” he said. “We said we need 75 per cent.”

Imperial is a member of Pathways Alliance, a group of Canada’s largest oilsands producers. The group seeks to cut emissions by 22 million metric tons by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050 on emissions from operations.
