Saskatchewan province in Canada is launching emissions standards for industrial producers, which are expected to cut the facilities' emissions by 10%, and the province’s emissions by 1.1%, by 2030. Producers will be able to choose from several options to fulfil their obligations, including offset credits, best performance credits and a technology fund, the government said. The new rules will be phased in, starting with a pilot program that began on 1 January 2018. Some industries, including potash, coal and uranium mining, have to cut emissions by 5% by 2030, while oil and gas firms cut up to 15%. Producers can fulfil obligations with offset credits, best performance credits and a technology fund.
