BONUS: Canadian Oil and Gas 2022 from ARC Energy Ideas
David, Sara and Ed are back next week with a new episode of Energy vs Climate. Until then, we'd like to share another podcast with you.
ARC Energy Ideas explores the trends that influence the energy business, including political, environmental, technological, social and economic forces. The show is hosted by Peter Tertzakian and Jackie Forrest of the ARC Energy Research Institute. Jackie and Peter have been thought leaders in the space for years. In fact Peter joined us way back on Episode 3 of Energy vs Climate to discuss the divestment movement.
On Canada Oil and Gas 2022: Another bull run, but different and another IEA report, Peter and Jackie review the ARC Energy Research Institute’s recently released outlook for the Canadian oil and gas economy for 2022, showing just how far things have turned around for the industry since April 2020. They also discuss how differently revenue is being invested compared to previous booms, and dig into the IEA’s most recent report reviewing Canadian energy policy.
On the whole, ARC Energy Ideas cover similar topics to us here at Energy vs Climate, while offering a different perspective, one we hope listeners will find interesting and enlightening.

Net Zero Corporate Commitments
In the past year the number of companies committing to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 has exploded. With the fifty largest companies by value accounting for 28% of global GDP, corporate action is critically important if we are to avoid dangerous climate change. But what does a net zero commitment for a company mean in practice? What distinguishes the good from greenwashing, and can we even tell from the outside? What are the risks and opportunities for a company making a net zero commitment in the first place?
Join David, Sara, Ed, and special guest Dr. Gabrielle Walker, Founder and Director of Valence Solutions, as they journey to net zero on Episode 28 of Energy vs Climate.
