L’Alberta supprime la limite en matière de brûlage de gaz naturel
AI Article Summary

Alberta has removed the regulatory limit on natural gas flaring following instances where energy producers exceeded the provincial cap for two consecutive years. The decision by the Alberta Energy Regulator fulfills government instructions to reconsider outdated flaring policies due to increased oil production and new emission reduction strategies. Critics argue that this move does not address environmental concerns, as flaring contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. The policy change comes amid an expansion of oil production in the province.
