Canada is pushing to provide incentives for at least two new massive carbon capture projects by 2030, a federal government document showed, with nearly a dozen oil and gas companies already pursuing rights to store carbon dioxide in Alberta’s vast underground caverns. Canada’s four existing projects, representing 15 per cent of global facilities, currently capture 4 million tonnes per year, according to the Canadian government. The hubs to collect carbon from clusters of emitters would advance Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s goal of cutting emissions by 40-45 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030. The global oil industry is betting heavily that...

The writing’s been on the wall for coal for awhile, and in 2020, it just couldn’t compete with renewable energy when it came to new installations. Fossil fuels lost more ground to wind and solar in 2020 That’s according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), which found that 62 per cent of renewable energy capacity that came online last year cost less to install than the cheapest fossil fuel option. In real terms, that’s a total of 162 GW that was cheaper to install than coal, around double what it was in 2019. The costs of...

Inspired by the nation’s arresting natural wonders, Canadian designers are creating homes that meld with the landscape—and the people who live there. Fold House begins with a fire. This undulating guesthouse forged from steel and local cedar is folded into a hillside, giving the impression that it emerges directly out of the Southern Ontario landscape. In 2017 the owner of the house was having dinner with his family in the guesthouse of their rambling, historic property. Mid-meal, a fire erupted from the furnace room. The family ran for safety before they watched the house burn. “Every great architecture...
