- A new report by the Pembina Institute and Simon Fraser University highlights Canada's progress in reducing emissions through government policies supporting the transition to clean energy.
- The federal government, B.C., and Quebec are praised for their support, while Alberta and Saskatchewan are urged to do more to catch up in the energy transition.
- The $11 million funding boost is expected to accelerate clean energy innovation and contribute to Canada's emission reduction goals for the decade.
Eleven clean energy projects in Alberta have been selected to receive a total of $11 million in federal funding, mostly focusing on clean hydrogen development and small modular nuclear reactor research. Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the funding in Calgary, emphasizing the importance of these projects in advancing sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, a recent report by the Pembina Institute and Simon Fraser University commends Canada's efforts in reducing emissions, attributing progress to government policies that promote the shift towards cleaner energy sources. While the federal government, B.C., and Quebec are recognized for their support, the report highlights the need for Alberta and Saskatchewan to step up their efforts in the energy transition. The funding injection is expected to drive innovation in clean energy technologies, contributing to Canada's ambitious emission reduction targets for the upcoming decade.
