  Protesters rallied outside the New Brunswick Legislature during the reading of the speech from the throne to oppose government energy and industrial plans, including the proposed Tantramar gas plant, Lorneville data centres, Sisson mine, and the potential re-opening of fracking. Advocates, including the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment and the Save Lorneville group, raised concerns over pollution, public health risks, and an increased strain on utility provider NB Power, noting one proposed artificial intelligence data centre would draw 200 megawatts. In response, Premier Susan Holt stated that her government will enforce stringent draft policy conditions requiring projects to demonstrate no negative impacts on water resources or energy rates alongside clear community benefits before receiving approval.

  Danish organizations including Green Hub Denmark, Clean, and the Triangle Energy Alliance are expanding carbon-capture partnerships with Alberta entities such as the University of Alberta, Deep Sky, Edmonton Global, and Alberta Innovates due to Alberta's standing in carbon-capture technology and a shifting European investment climate regarding the United States. The collaboration features ongoing research linkages, such as between Aarhus University and the Deep Sky facility in Innisfail, alongside upcoming delegations at the Carbon Capture Conference scheduled for September 15-16 at the Edmonton Convention Centre.
