EDMONTON – The Government of Alberta announced on Wednesday they will be investing more than $60 million into cutting-edge technologies that they claim will reduce emissions and increase economic performance for industries across the province.
Alberta’s Emissions Reduction and Energy Development Plan aims to set the province’s course for cutting emissions and supporting jobs and strengthening the economy. The government says that as a part of this plan, they will be supporting clean technology and innovation to help reduce global emissions.
The province will support 14 new projects using the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund. If all projects are successfully completed, they state they will reduce a combined 700,000 tonnes of emissions by 2030 and add 1,700 jobs to the provincial workforce.
“When it comes to protecting the environment and growing the economy, Alberta leads the way through action,” said Minister of Environment Rebecca Schulz.
