The right policy mix can set Canadian industries up for success, even in the face of global decarbonization.
Carbon pricing in transition
As countries fuse their economic, environmental and geopolitical objectives, there is a growing imperative to link trade and climate policies.
Alberta must fix carbon credit market to ensure low-carbon growth
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
Nuclear can help Canada achieve net-zero if we solve these problems
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.
Canada has a massive carbon capture and storage opportunity
“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.
Canada could fall short of climate targets without expanded contracts for difference program
New modelling shows Canada could miss out on up to 33 megatonnes of emissions reductions per year by 2030.
Pillars of Decarbonization: Common findings from models of Canada’s net-zero energy economy
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.
