Creating a clean energy future for Canada.

Many of the environmental issues associated with how we produce, transmit, distribute and use energy can only be resolved by developing advanced energy technologies - technologies that do not currently exist or that currently are in the early stages of development.

ecoENERGY Technology Initiative – Will fund research, development and demonstration to support the development of the next-generation clean-energy technologies - to increase clean energy supply, to reduce energy waste, and to reduce pollution from conventional energy sources. Examples are technologies for clean-coal, carbon sequestration, and for reducing oil sands' environmental impact, and new end-use technologies such as hydrogen and fuel cells, and energy efficient buildings and industry. The Initiative will also develop technologies for producing and using renewable energy from clean sources such as wind, solar, tidal, and biomass.
