Leading Atlantic Canada to a Net-Zero Future through Innovation, Collaboration, and Climate Action

About

Net Zero Atlantic is at the forefront of addressing climate change through applied science and innovative solutions aimed at achieving a carbon-neutral society by 2050. With a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and program managers, Net Zero Atlantic spearheads critical research and development in the transition to net zero emissions. Our organization champions the Net Zero Emerging Concepts and Technologies Research Program, supported by the Nova Scotia Department of Environment and Climate Change, focusing on novel R&D projects across Atlantic Canada. A prime example of our impactful work includes a project led by Dalhousie University to harness poultry manure for energy, showcasing our commitment to agricultural emissions reduction and cost savings.

Our vision to be a leading energy research organization propels us forward, as we engage in mission-critical collaborations with academia, governments, the private sector, Indigenous Peoples, and NGOs. Net Zero Atlantic is dedicated to advancing a sustainable and inclusive energy transition in Atlantic Canada. Through our work, we provide credible, objective data and support services, ensuring a holistic approach to the energy system's transformation. We are not just about achieving net zero emissions; we are about fostering a community-wide effort towards a sustainable future for all.
