EFC’s Industry Research study was conducted with the Pembina Institute, a clean energy think tank, to understand the actions required to transition Canada to a net-zero economy and to identify the opportunities for the electrical & automation industry in Canada’s decarbonization efforts. The study focuses on three key sectors – electricity, buildings and transportation – which account for nearly half of Canada’s emissions. Emission reductions in the electricity, buildings, and transportation sectors, which collectively account for 45% of Canada’s emissions, are critical.
