How Industrial Strategy Can Secure Canada’s Future in a Net-Zero World
We need a strategic, cross-sectoral approach to industrial transition now, based on Canada’s strengths and an assessment of likely opportunities in the decarbonizing global economy.
Crédits carbone pour la destruction d’halocarbures : une fausse bonne idée
Au Québec, la gestion des halocarbures accuse plusieurs lacunes. À un point tel que d’importants efforts visant la réduction des émissions de GES sont déployés au bénéfice d’activités qui, paradoxalement, contribueraient à leur augmentation. C’est le fonctionnement inopportun du marché du carbone québécois qui est mis en cause, dans un rapport conjoint de l’Institut de l’énergie Trottier de Polytechnique Montréal et de l’Accélérateur de transition.
Décarbonation des bâtiments
Les bâtiments commerciaux et institutionnels (C&I) consomment 11% de l’énergie totale consommée au Canada, principalement pour chauffer les espaces et l’eau sanitaire.
Blog – What if our Cities only Needed a Fraction of their Parking Spaces?
Finding parking when and where you need it can be both time consuming and stress inducing. In pre-pandemic days at least, there never seemed to be enough parking.
Announcing the Recipients of the Transition Pathways research grants
The Transition Accelerator is pleased to announce the recipients of our Transition Pathways research grants. This funding opportunity was launched in April 2021 in order to develop transformational pathways to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
Blog – Towards a Western Hydrogen Network
Canada has many strengths that can make it a hydrogen superpower. It is one of the lowest cost places to make low-carbon hydrogen in the world, and Alberta’s energy workers in particular already have the skills and expertise needed to lead the way in this emerging energy field. But a Canada-wide hydrogen economy won’t emerge unless the right conditions are set and additional hydrogen HUBs are created and linked across the country. That’s why we’re working to facilitate the next phase of development: a western hydrogen network.
Task Force established to Advance Hydrogen Economy in Southeast Alberta
Medicine Hat (August 13, 2021) – The Southeast Alberta Hydrogen Task Force (Task Force), an independent working group created to establish a framework to implement a hydrogen economy in Southeast Alberta, was officially launched today. Invest Medicine Hat is leading a...
To meet climate goals, we can’t leave autonomous vehicles on autopilot
Autonomous vehicles have come to play a major role in many visions of the transportation future, with car companies, tech companies, and policymakers all proposing their own versions of a self-driving future.
News release: Canada’s first hydrogen HUB launches in the Edmonton Region backed by over $2 million in funding from three levels of government
Picture a future for the Edmonton Region where buses, trains, heavy trucks, home heating and farm machinery all run on zero-emissions hydrogen fuel, an essential component of the new clean energy system
