GHG

• Canada’s oil and gas sector is in the throes of profound change driven by shifting consumer demand and global commitments to dramatically lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
• But are industry and politicians sincere in their affection for oil and gas workers?
• Or, are energy workers merely a convenient vehicle to shield the industry from change that many Canadians believe is inevitable?

Picket lines

• We found the company used expanding pipeline capacity and Canada’s emission reduction policies to justify its push to force workers to take concessions.
• The lockout came to an end in June 2020 when Local 594 members ratified an agreement with FCL.

“Just” transition?

• Just this month federal Conservatives, conservative provincial governments and protesters came out strong against the increase to the Trudeau government’s signature climate policy — the price on carbon.
• The Liberal government has faced significant backlash against its other climate policies as well, including the oil and gas emissions cap.
• Conservatives position themselves as the voice of fossil fuel workers, who they cast as victims of carbon pricing and other federal environmental policies.
• Shuttered factories and their laid-off employees are victims of Liberal anti-oil policies, industry proponents insist.

Questions unanswered

• Time and again governments, local police and courts advanced the interests of industry over those of unionized workers.
• Or, will the inevitable winding down of extractive fossil fuel industries lead to acrimonious labour relations and social injustice?
• The path designed by powerful oil and gas interests is not one that puts workers or communities first.

  1.
• Accelerating the expansion of maximize resource-efficiency mining practices according to the Minerals Act B.E.

• We have set our course for the future: Within just a few years, we will have converted the Group almost entirely to green electricity".
• Oberkirch, March 28, 2024 - The PWO Group is currently commissioning a photovoltaic system with an annual output of around 820,000 kWh at its San Cristobal site in Mexico.
• Our 2 Mexican locations are among the growth drivers of the PWO Group.
• These new series will gradually go into production over the next few years and contribute significantly to the growth of the entire PWO Group.

• The expansion will include a comprehensive application to capture operational and organizational greenhouse gas (GHG) and criteria air pollutant (CAP) emission inventories from all Port Authority activities.
• This application will expand the Port Authority’s current Locus applications for construction sustainability and waste management.
• Locus provides clients powerful software tools to track and manage various emissions streams.
• “We are excited that the Port Authority selected Locus Technologies for their ambitious goal of tracking all carbon emissions, including all construction activities.
