Alberta's government said updated data show the province has cut methane emissions by 62 per cent, on the way to a 75 per cent cut below 2014 levels that it is aiming for by 2035. Environment Minister Grant Hunter was to present the figures on November 12 at a methane event during the COP31 climate conference in Türkiye. He said Alberta reached its first reduction target years early. The government also said it has put about $172 million into methane-reduction technology since 2019.
