Tarification carbone industriel : Timbit par baril pour le secteur des sables bitumineux canadiens

The Canadian Climate Institute asserts that industrial carbon pricing is designed to incentivize emission reductions while minimizing costs to industry. For oil sands producers, current average costs are 9 cents per barrel, and projected costs under a strengthened policy (targeting $130 per tonne by 2030) would rise to approximately 50 cents per barrel. Analysis of 17 years of provincial trade data across 10 provinces and 19 sectors found no statistically significant evidence that carbon pricing has contracted exports.

• Current direct costs for oil sands producers, after accounting for taxes and royalties, average 9 cents per barrel of oil, though costs vary by facility based on emission intensity relative to benchmarks.
• If the Alberta-Ottawa memorandum of understanding is implemented to ensure carbon credits trade at $130 per tonne, the average cost for oil sands producers is projected to be 50 cents per barrel by 2030.
• A study of 17 years of provincial trade data across 10 provinces and 19 industrial sectors found no statistically significant evidence that industrial carbon pricing led to a contraction in exports, with the estimated average effect being indistinguishable from zero.
• The projected 2030 cost of 50 cents per barrel represents approximately 0.06% of the price of Western Canadian Select, assuming a current price of $80 per barrel.
