Imperial's CEO, Brad Corson, recently spoke to the federal Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, emphasizing the company's commitments to energy security, economic benefits, and emission reductions.

The company aims for net-zero scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 and has already reduced GHG intensity by 10% since 2016. Key initiatives include the use of renewable diesel and carbon capture, with plans to further reduce GHG intensity by 30% by 2030.

Imperial's major projects involve $720 million investments in a renewable diesel facility in Edmonton and exploration of lithium extraction for EV batteries. The company's long-term strategy integrates public policy, technology, and investment, aiming for a lower-emission future while ensuring energy security.

Imperial has commenced oil production using new technology at its Grand Rapids project, located in Cold Lake. This marks the first commercial deployment of the solvent-assisted, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SA-SAGD) technology. The project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity by up to 40% compared to existing methods. Production will ramp up to 15,000 barrels per day. This initiative supports Imperial's goal to cut emissions intensity at its oil sands operations by 30% by 2030. The technology uses a lighter oil mixed with steam for more efficient oil recovery. Imperial aims to transition 40% of its production to this lower-emission technology by 2030.
