Low-Carbon Fuels

The Transition Accelerator provides critical insights to industry and policymakers, paving the way for new value chains for low-carbon fuels and unlocking opportunities in shifting energy markets. As markets worldwide adopt low-carbon solutions, many sectors including heavy-duty trucking, aviation, and industry have requirements for quick refuelling, range, and energy density that electricity and batteries cannot provide.   

To develop export opportunities, provide energy security, and keep Canada’s fuel mix competitive, we’re exploring new and innovative ways of using Canada’s resources and technical skills to produce the energy and fuels that will power our future.  

Our team combines practical expertise, proven industry knowledge, and rigorous system-level modelling to identify the most promising pathways for producing, moving, and using low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, synthetic fuels. By engaging with partners across industry, academia, and government, we identify and address critical gaps, develop real solutions, de-risk new technologies, and launch the pilots, demonstration projects and commercial investments that will keep Canada competitive and support regional economies.
