Budget 2024

Tax and spend fiscal plan will inhibit growth

Michael Rousseau believes supporting new technologies that reduce emissions will help Air Canada reach its 2050 net-zero GHG emissions commitment. He shares his perspective in an announcement by Air Canada of a new investment in Carbon Engineering, a Canadian climate solutions company. 

“We remain focused on seeking innovative, long-term, sustainable GHG emissions reduction solutions for aviation, and carbon capture is one we have outlined in our strategy to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Last year, we became the first Canadian airline to sign an MOU with CE to explore carbon capture scalability and other initiatives for our industry. We are proud to invest in CE to further advance new, transformational technologies towards carbon removal commercially.”
