Consider this: In April, Royal Dutch Shell, one of the largest companies in the world, announced its intent to become a net-zerocarbon company by 2050. No doubt Shell is counting on some miracle like carbon capture to preserve its adherence to a century-old business model of selling oil. Is that possible?
He shared the stage with Teine Energy and Wolf Midstream, two Alberta-based fossil fuel companies owned by CPPIB – neither of which have committed to net-zero emissions. The only credible pathway to zero emissions for oil, gas and coal companies is to phase out production. This “consensus” is imaginary.

In 2021, we launched the ZeroCarbon Project to help our top suppliers halve their CO2 emissions in less than five years.

New report released amid climate votes at AGMs, finds overreliance on unproven technology and divestment risk. Oil and gas firms’ energy transition plans are gambling on the unproven capabilities of technologies like carbon capture and hydrogen power, according to a report by climate and financial markets think tank Carbon Tracker.
The other side of the coin is to look at ways the financial sector can support moves towards netzero. In extreme cases, he said, firms refusing to supply trustees with TCFD information would have to be divested from the portfolio in question. We suggest further attention on stewardship and engagement.”.

As is their wont, many companies used the occasion to proclaim updated commitments — the buzzword du la semaine was "net-zero" with Walmart declaring a zero-emissions target by 2040 along with a big clean fleet promise and a pledge to "protect, manage or restore" at least 50 million acres of land and 1 million square miles of ocean by 2030.
For sustainable tech to be possible, funders, including investors, philanthropists, and foundations, must develop a two-pronged approach of intentional investments in those leading justice-centered approaches to technological and economic transitions and informed divestments from extractive and fossil-fuel-dependent systems and enterprises.
