Pathways Alliance

The Pathways Alliance is a group of six oil and gas companies representing the bulk of Canadian oilsands production. The group plans to build a large carbon capture and storage network to capture emissions from oilsands facilities and send them down a pipeline to an underground storage area. 

The six companies in Pathways Alliance are ExxonMobil subsidiary Imperial Oil, Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL), Suncor, Cenovus, ConocoPhillips Canada and MEG Energy.
