Getting to Net-Zero: The Role of Canada’s Transportation Sector | May 27, 2021

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Getting to Net-Zero: The Role of Canada’s Transportation Sector With Canada’s plan to reach Net-Zero Emissions by 2050, how will we make this happen while continuing to move people and goods from coast-to-coast-to-coast and beyond? Our panelists discussed how Canada’s transportation sector would play an important  role in the low-carbon future. From gasoline and diesel to electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, Canadians had never had more choices when it came to their mobility.  Government policy – both federal and provincial – was also a key factor. Our panel of energy influencers would describe what’s ahead on our road to Net-Zero in Canada. Panelists: Peter Tertzakian - Deputy Director of ARC Energy Research Institute Kris Smith - Executive Vice-President of Downstream Merran Smith - Founder and Executive Director of Clean Energy Canada. *The content presented is free of charge but please note that the Empire Club of Canada retains copyright.
