It was also the first government in Canada to set a methane reduction target for the oil and gas sector, committing to reducing these emissions by 45% from 2014 levels by 2025. In 2022, Alberta achieved its goal of reducing methane emissions from the conventional oil and gas sector by 45%, three years ahead of its 2025 target year.
