Alberta's energy landscape is undergoing a transformation as outlined in the 2025 Alberta Energy Outlook by the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). The province experienced a surge in oil output reaching 3.6 million barrels per day in 2024, supported by rising bitumen production and favorable market conditions. Investments in the energy sector hit $30.9 billion, the highest in nine years, with a focus on traditional resources like crude oil and natural gas, as well as emerging sources such as hydrogen, helium, lithium, and geothermal energy. The AER report emphasizes Alberta's role in leading Canada's energy narrative and highlights the acceleration of momentum in emerging resources. Notably, Alberta's oil production is projected to grow to 4.7 million barrels per day by 2034, alongside an increase in hydrogen production, helium output, and the development of lithium resources. The province also aims to enhance carbon capture efforts, with a million tonnes of carbon dioxide already sequestered in 2024. The positive sentiment is further reflected in plans for new pipeline projects, with Premier Danielle Smith anticipating private proposals for enhanced market access. The development of these initiatives is seen as crucial for demonstrating responsible environmental practices and economic growth in the energy sector. Overall, Alberta's energy forecast for 2034 showcases a dynamic shift towards sustainable practices, resource diversification, and continued growth in the sector.
