Alberta Environment Minister Shannon Phillips is announcing new rules for large industrial greenhouse gas emitters in Calgary on Wednesday.
Details of the new rules come one day after a pledge by the Alberta government to invest $1.4 billion to drive innovation, boost the energy industry and diversify economy.
Part of the plan involves spending $240 million on energy-efficiency projects in large-scale industrial, agricultural and manufacturing operations.
Another $225 million will be aimed at driving innovations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions across a wider range of industries.
