Clean technology development and adoption is an important part of the provincial economy that can help address sustainability while creating economic diversification opportunities in Alberta. The Clean Technology Program invests in projects to adapt, develop, and deploy innovative clean technology to benefit Albertans and grow the province’s low-carbon economy.

In each of the priority focus areas, we look for projects and activities that improve environmental sustainability, support Alberta’s energy transition, generate jobs in a clean-tech economy, and engage industry, researchers, and communities to participate in advancing our future energy systems.
