CleanTech Minutes

Canada is a world leader in clean technologies.

These technologies offer new and more effective ways to increase energy efficiency, use renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They are changing how Canadians live, work and produce energy.

The Government of Canada and its industry partners are working to respond to growing global demand for clean energy technologies. Together, we have developed some of the world’s most advanced, environmentally friendly technologies, which are part of the solution to create balance between economic prosperity and environmental responsibility.
