The objective of the Clean Technology Program is to address sustainability while creating opportunity for economic diversification in Alberta.
The Clean Technology program supports technologies and mechanisms for energy decarbonization that facilitate the achievement of net-zero goals set by industry participants. Clean technology innovation is drives environmental sustainability, economic growth and jobs, as well as energy affordability and reliability.
Renewable and Alternative Energy – focused on low emitting heat and electricity as a pathway to decarbonize Alberta’s domestic energy systems. This focus area is categorized into Grid Modernization and Clean Power and Heat. Grid Modernization focuses on innovative solutions that support the application and integration of renewable and alternative energy, and enable energy systems reliability, affordability, and resiliency. Clean Power and Heat focuses on emerging energy-producing technologies contributing to Alberta’s net-zero economy.

Energy Storage and Minerals – focuses on the value chains and lifecycles of battery and non-battery energy storage in support of utility scale deployments and emerging consumer technologies. Key technology areas include mineral extraction and processing, multiple forms of energy storage, and material recycling and best practices.
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) & Hydrogen – driven by the need to further decarbonize the oil and gas sector, petrochemicals, electricity production, and heavy industry. CCUS is a component of how we deliver climate change goals in the oil and gas sector. Similarly, hydrogen is a critical part of Alberta’s decarbonization future and is intrinsically linked with CCUS in Alberta’s Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap.
This white paper describes the importance of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) as a key pathway to achieve net-emissions and outlines technology innovation required for broad commercial-scale deployment of CCUS in Alberta.
