Thank you for the question.
We actually released a report just yesterday on carbon capture, detailing its role in the clean energy transition. It's obviously a really contentious issue right now, so that's sort of difficult to answer, broadly speaking. I will say that, obviously, if we look at the net-zero scenarios produced by the IRENA, the IEA, the IPCC and what have you, carbon capture and carbon dioxide removal technologies both play a really significant role in even a net-zero world. That use is exclusively typically used for such things as direct air capture, clean fuels like biofuels with carbon capture, and so on.
However, I would consider the strong possibility that the use of carbon capture, specifically point source capture, today could have a beneficial impact on helping [Technical difficulty—Editor] viability of those technologies across a wide variety of applications that may or may not be used. I think there certainly is an opportunity to consider carbon capture as part of the larger tool box that we use to address emissions.
I would point to the issue that we're trying to get at and that I think a lot of the witnesses and I have talked about, namely, the difficulty of really decarbonizing end-use services. There's an immediate urgency to do that. Canada's track record has not been all that great. Certainly many other countries are in the same boat. If we're going to be in a situation where we fail, for example, to decarbonize end-use services—not that we would, but in case we do—then certainly we will need to find a better way to produce fossil fuels to account for that. Certainly, I think carbon capture—
