The Greener Homes Grant sent the right signal at the right time—it’s vital it gets a reboot
The broader Greener Homes Initiative is smart political calculus that combines support for Canadians, emissions reductions, and job creation in one tidy package.
Carbon capture and hydrogen: a Canadian power couple
We possess well-developed advantages to help underpin growth in the hydrogen industry, such as our water, low-emission electricity, natural gas, CCUS, and extensive energy transportation systems.
