Alberta will cap oil-sands emissions that will phase out coal power plants and implement an economy-wide price for carbon in an effort to curb pollution from Canada’s largest greenhouse-gas emitter. The oil-sands industry will face a limit of 100 megatons of carbon emissions a year, above current annual emissions of about 70 megatons. The province will phase out coal power plants by 2030 and set a carbon price of C$20 ($15) a metric ton by 2017, rising to C$30 in 2018.
