The Empire Club of Canada Presents:

Sowing the Seeds to Our Low-Carbon Future

Partnerships and ‘system-wide’ solutions are key to reducing emissions from Canada’s transportation sector. More than ever, our country’s world-class agriculture sector, refining expertise, and infrastructure are collaborating to unlock the potential of low-carbon fuels and help position Canada as a world leader in clean transportation energy.

Fighting climate change and growing the economy go hand-in-hand. Already well established in terms of technology, infrastructure, and availability, Canada’s transportation fuels sector continues to innovate and leverage new feedstocks, improving biofuel quality while their overall emissions intensity declines. By leveraging our collective value chains and innovative solutions like waste-to-fuel technology, we can help put Canada ahead of the curve as we continue Driving to 2050 and decarbonizing transportation to help reach our climate goals.

Join us for an engaging discussion on Tuesday, April 11th, to learn more about ongoing collaboration and opportunities for Canada’s agriculture and transportation fuels sectors to continue working together to unlock the potential of Made in Canada low-carbon fuels.
