Nine Nova Scotian leaders in clean technology research and development are receiving funding from the Province for projects that support the development of hydrogen fuel, as well as others that target emissions produced by boats and farms.
"Nova Scotia benefits from a strong network of academic and private-sector researchers, innovators, engineers and other experts who are focused on developing the technologies of the future - the technologies that will help us achieve net zero by 2050 and become a global leader in clean energy," said Environment and Climate Change Minister Timothy Halman. "Government's role is to make sure they have the support they need to bring new solutions from the lab to the marketplace so we can achieve a carbon-neutral, sustainable future."
In 2021, the Environmental Goals and Climate Change Reduction Act committed Nova Scotia to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and to moving to clean, renewable energy. To support these goals, the Province announced $3 million in funding last year for Net Zero Atlantic to administer the Net Zero Emerging Concepts and Technologies Research Program, which funds research and development projects to reduce carbon emissions. On April 30, Minister Halman announced that $255,846 of that funding will support nine projects.
