Climate change is the defining challenge of this generation. We know we have to change the way we live to curb harmful emissions and reach net zero by 2050. This decade alone, the industry must: Increase low carbon electricity generation by approximately 50 per cent from sources such as wind or solar power.

Natural gas has been touted as a green energy source by some because, when burned for fuel, it emits less CO2 than coal. But before that happens, leaks from across the natural gas supply chain — from the drilling process to gas stoves — can unintentionally vent methane into the atmosphere. McKain explained.
