If Canada wants to hit its emission reduction goals for 2030 and 2050, it needs to scale up deployment of made-in-Canada clean technology, according to a new report.
, argues that the country won’t be able to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 45 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 without creating a better roadmap for how it will accelerate development and utilization of domestically-made clean tech.
“There's a whole commercial ecosystem that needs to be built up for the successful deployment of these clean technologies at scale,” she said. But it says that Canada is missing key plans needed to set this up, such as investing in training programs to help industry experts get to know new tech as it is available.
The measure of commercialization is if that technology has not only been proven successful through use, but can also be immediately ordered and produced. Policy readiness, meaning whether there are policies in place to facilitate the adoption of a new technology widely across an industry; “ what needs to be in place from a market perspective, from a technical viability perspective, what sort of policy and regulatory frameworks need to be in place, and then the capacity of the company itself to deploy at commercial scale,” she said.The report also looked at the challenges and potential solutions across the seven economic sectors that make up Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.
