Canada's New
Government Replaces EnerGuide for Houses with ecoENERGY RETROFIT
Initiative
OTTAWA — The Honourable Gary
Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources, and the Honourable John Baird,
Minister of the Environment, announced the ecoENERGY Technology
Initiative—a $230-million investment in the research, development
and demonstration of clean-energy technologies.
“Canada is an emerging energy superpower,” said Minister Lunn.
“But our real challenge is to be a clean-energy
superpower. To do this, we must address the fact that the greatest
source of untapped energy is the energy we waste. We must also
increase our use of renewable energy and develop the science and
technology to make conventional energy cleaner.”
“As part of our environmental agenda, Canada's New Government is
introducing this important initiative to protect Canadians' top
priority—the environment—while building a competitive and
sustainable economy,” said Minister Baird.
While Canada's Clean Air Act forms the backbone of the
government's environmental plan, the ecoENERGY Technology
Initiative will foster the next generation of clean technologies to
break through to emissions-free energy production and energy
use.
The $230-million ecoENERGY Technology Initiative will accelerate
the development and market-readiness of technology solutions in
clean energy.
It will ensure that Canadians and future generations have clean
air, water, land and energy. This is real change for real
results.
“Canada's New Government encourages industry and the provinces
to further invest in science and technology to deliver real results
for the production of clean energy,” said Minister Lunn.
The new Initiative is a focused, integrated approach built on
key priorities that include carbon dioxide sequestration, clean
coal, clean oil sands production and renewable energy. Priorities
will be further developed with provinces and industry partners
through consultations.
