About this event

  • 5 hours

ERA is marking 15 years of clean technology investments that have helped innovators develop and demonstrate Alberta-based technologies that lower emissions and cut costs in the province and around the world.

As a key agency that invests revenues from the Government of Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) regulation, ERA will surpass $1 billion in total committed funds in 2024 towards projects that are estimated to deliver cumulative GHG reductions of 42 million tonnes by 2030 and 115 million tonnes by 2050. This is an important milestone and a great opportunity to recognize Alberta’s forward-thinking climate policy, environmental regulation, and innovation frameworks.

Through panel discussions, a fireside chat, keynote addresses and more, programming for this 15-year anniversary event will share the compelling story of ERA and its decade and a half of advancing technologies towards commercialization. It will focus on lessons learned, outcomes, and remarkable successes featuring projects that are being commercialized and deployed in Alberta and internationally. We will also highlight Alberta’s longstanding strategies for achieving its environmental and economic goals as it continues to build momentum towards a carbon neutral future.

Come learn how the Government of Alberta and ERA have supported innovative approaches to reduce emissions, lower costs, attract investment, and create jobs in Alberta.
