Potential of Small Modular Reactors in Hard-to-Decarbonize Industries

Given Canada’s resource-based industrial structure, achieving net-zero emissions poses an enormous challenge. It is a challenge so pressing that we need to consider all potential options that could help achieve Canada’s net-zero emissions target. While policymakers or the public may not support any given option in the end, it is important that the options be examined and discussed.

The Innovation Sandboxes Project

Sandboxes are a valuable tool used across the world to meet evolving priorities and address new and emerging concerns. Pollution Probe and QUEST's Innovation Sandboxes project aims to collaboratively create frameworks for innovation in energy systems across Canada. These foundational frameworks can then be used by policymakers, regulators, and other stakeholders to change or replace existing policies and regulations and build programs to accelerate the transition to a low-emissions future.
