Réparer le marché du carbone en Alberta

The document analyzes the failure of Alberta's TIER system, where carbon prices remain below $20 per tonne despite a $95 reference price, due to an excess of 48 million credits. It proposes a memorandum of understanding between Canada and Alberta to target a $130 per tonne price by 2030, suggesting the creation of a procurement fund to retire at least 10 million tonnes of excess credits by 2030 and the tightening of performance standards to reduce future credit supply.

• The Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system in Alberta is currently failing to meet its reference price of $95 per tonne, with actual carbon prices remaining below $20 per tonne due to an oversupply of credits.
• A memorandum of understanding between Canada and Alberta aims to establish a credible trajectory toward a minimum real carbon price of $130 per tonne by 2030 to provide long-term stability for industry and investors.
• The Alberta carbon market is burdened by an excess of 48 million credits, which represents approximately two and a half years of recorded regulatory costs.
• To stabilize prices, the author proposes a procurement fund to buy back and retire excess credits, suggesting that removing at least 10 million tonnes of credits by 2030 is necessary but not sufficient on its own.
• Long-term market health requires tightening industry performance standards and limiting offsets and accumulated credits to reduce the rate at which new credits enter the market.
