What is Net Zero? And how can we get there? Can we mitigate the damage of three centuries of fossil fuel-powered industrialisation, with three decades of new energy infrastructure?

While Canada is rich in renewables and already produces 80% of its electricity using non greenhouse gas sources, it, like countries around the world, has a daunting task in front of it.

In order to reach Net Zero, Canada will need to electrify. And based on their study and their sources, an SNC report explains that Canada will have to triple its generation capacity, from 500TWH in 2020, to 1500TWH in 2050.
