Power Struggle Is Canadian LNG a Climate Solution? | Mark Cameron on Energy, Exports & Emissions
Canada’s energy exports are often criticized as a climate liability — but what if they could actually reduce global emissions?
In this episode of Power Struggle, Stewart Muir sits down with Mark Cameron — Fellow at the Public Policy Forum, Senior Associate with BlueSky Strategy Group, and former VP of External Relations at the Pathways Alliance and former Deputy Minister of Policy Coordination with the Government of Alberta — to unpack the findings of a groundbreaking report he co-authored: "Refuel".
Backed by advanced modeling from Navius Research, the study shows that scaling up Canadian LNG exports by 47 million tonnes per year could lead to a net global emissions reduction of 40 to 70 megatonnes annually, largely by displacing coal and higher-emitting alternatives.
Cameron also reflects on:
• Why carbon accounting should be global, not local
• The growing role of Indigenous partnerships in energy development
• How Canada compares to the U.S. on emissions intensity
• What the new federal–Alberta MOU really means for climate and investment
This conversation cuts through the noise and reframes Canada’s place in the global energy transition.
The energy conversation is polarizing. But the reality is multidimensional. Get the full story with host Stewart Muir.
