In an era of trade wars and geopolitical rupture, Canada has a unique opportunity to build its industrial base by attracting low-carbon investment away from the United States.
While the U.S. has pivoted away from climate policy, it has not entirely turned its back on low-carbon technologies. Released in collaboration with Clean Prosperity, A Canadian Advantage compares the incentives in Canada and the U.S. for investment in 14 low-carbon sectors, including electricity, critical minerals, batteries, low-carbon fuels, and carbon management, and identifies specific steps that Canada should take to sharpen its competitiveness.
If it wants to achieve leadership in strategic sectors, Canada must identify and seize the right opportunities. By applying a focused industrial strategy that prioritizes technologies and projects that maximize value across domestic supply chain, we can create a real Canadian advantage.
