Targets 2030 Emission Reduction plan
Provides a secure path to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 as per the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act
Includes at least 11 out of 17 Sustainable Development Goals outlined in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Government of Canada

In 2016, Canada released the first-ever national climate plan – the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change – jointly developed by the federal, provincial and territorial governments. The measures in the Pan-Canadian Framework are projected to make significant progress in helping Canada reach its 2030 goal of a 30% reduction below 2005 levels. In December 2020, the Government of Canada released its strengthened federal climate plan, A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy. The plan contains 64 strengthened and new federal policies, programs and investments to cut pollution and build a stronger, cleaner, more resilient and inclusive economy. Building on the measures included in the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change, the proposed actions outlined in the strengthened climate plan will – once fully implemented – enable Canada to exceed its current 2030 target.

Canada has also committed to achieve a net-zero emissions economy by 2050. To set Canada on a path to achieve a prosperous net-zero emissions future by 2050, the Government of Canada introduced the proposed Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act, in Parliament on November 19, 2020. The act will formalize Canada's target to achieve net-zero emissions by the year 2050, and establish a series of interim emissions reduction targets at 5-year milestones towards that goal.

Renewable Energy Glossary

Solar Power: Is the heat emitted by the sun; this energy can be collected using various technologies and used for heating purposes and electricity generation.
Wind Energy: refers to capturing the energy from moving air, i.e., wind, and converting it into electricity.
Hydro Energy: is the form of energy which could be harnessed through movement of water to power machinery or create electricity.
Geothermal Energy: is heat derived from the earth
Blue and Green Hydrogen: Blue hydrogen is the hydrogen gas that is produced using non-renewable energy and carbon capture whereas green hydrogen is hydrogen gas that is produced using renewable energy and utilizes zero carbon during production.
Bio-fuels Energy: Biofuel, any fuel that is derived from biomass —that is, plant or algae material or animal waste.
Nuclear Energy: The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.

Renewable produced hydrogen is fast moving from the category "emerging" to "established." At least 10 countries are already jostling for leadership positions in what some see as the next big thing in energy.

“In theory this industry could reach the scale of oil and gas, but with very low emissions and significant value for electricity grids [by] helping to integrate variable renewable energy,” said Paul Ebert, group vice president of new energy and networks at consultancy Worley.

Green and Blue hydrogen are the only green energy sources that have the ability to de-carbonize our economy, and to achieve the goal of Net-Zero by 2050.
