Unlocking Canada’s energy advantage
Research labs funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation are delivering game-changing energy solutions to optimize Canada’s energy transition.
As global energy demand surges and geopolitical tensions threaten supply chains, we rely more and more on today’s strategic research to optimize how we extract and transport oil and gas and to develop the next generation of clean energy technologies. Through those advancements, we will build a clean and competitive economy and secure our energy independence.
From more effective carbon capture to better batteries for storing energy from wind and solar, innovation will help Canada meet its climate change goals.
