Canada is committed to making its energy production cleaner by increasing energy efficiency, expanding renewable energy production and reducing environmental impacts from conventional sources.

​

Canada and the United States share the closest energy relationship in the world, trading billions of dollars of energy through a tightly integrated distribution network. Both countries have been endowed with valuable natural resources and talented human resources with the “know-how” to responsibly balance our need for energy with our need to protect the environment.

​

The urgency to address global climate change calls upon us to work together to harness our natural and human resources in innovative ways to advance North America’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

​

This long history of collaboration and shared intellectual endeavours extends to E8, which invests in cleantech companies across North America.

​

Many Canadian companies have presented to E8, members have visited BC on field trips and for conferences, and our portfolio includes BC-based TBF Environmental Technology, Inventys, and Saltworks.
