Hybrid home heating systems — which combine electric air-source heat pumps with traditional natural gas furnaces — offer Ontario a practical and cost-effective path to significantly reducing emissions from home heating while protecting household budgets, says a new report from Clean Prosperity. Widespread adoption of hybrid heating could reduce Ontario electricity system costs by 20%,
Expanding nuclear power generation across Canada could help drive prosperity, competitiveness, and emissions reductions for decades to come. Provinces must commit to deeply electrifying their economies and take a coordinated approach to deployment in order to build the case for new nuclear projects, according to a new research paper by Clean Prosperity. Canadians will only
To help make Canada into an energy superpower, the federal and provincial governments should reset their relationship on climate policy. A new vision paper from Clean Prosperity explains how. The paper recommends that the federal government cancel the oil and gas emissions cap and the Clean Electricity Regulations. Instead Ottawa should reach a deal with
Quebec has a carbon pricing system that’s distinct from the systems in other Canadian provinces. This report aims to shed light on the key features of the Quebec cap-and-trade system.
New report recommends changes that expand options for municipal investment
The right policy mix can set Canadian industries up for success, even in the face of global decarbonization.
As countries fuse their economic, environmental and geopolitical objectives, there is a growing imperative to link trade and climate policies.
Alberta could miss out on billions of dollars in low-carbon investment if the province doesn’t fix a major problem with its carbon market, says a new report released today by Clean Prosperity. The Alberta carbon market is likely to face an oversupply of carbon credits before the end of the decade, which could further depress
Clean Prosperity's Nuclear for a Net-Zero Canada report offers solutions to the cost and policy uncertainty problems that are undermining nuclear's potential.
“Evaluation of carbon capture and storage potential in Canada,” a research report from Clean Prosperity’s Net-Zero Pathways for Canada project, examines the potential of CCUS technology to address emissions from Canada’s major industrial sectors.
New modelling shows Canada could miss out on up to 33 megatonnes of emissions reductions per year by 2030.
Pillars of Decarbonization, the second report from Clean Prosperity’s Net-Zero Pathways for Canada project, examines common findings across models of five distinct futures for Canada’s energy system, all of which lead to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
