Net Zero Accelerator Initiative

The Net Zero Accelerator (NZA) initiative supports Canada's net zero goals to help transform the economy for clean and long term growth.

This initiative will provide up to $8 billion in support of  projects that will enable Canada to reduce its domestic greenhouse gas emissions.

By investing in projects that have the potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions, Canada will:

• lead by example, substantially reducing its emissions by 2030

• meet its goal of being a net-zero economy by 2050

• transform key sectors ensuring long term sustainability and competitive advantages

• accelerate the adoption of clean technologies across the economy

• establish battery innovation and industrial ecosystem

The initiative will help Canadian businesses seize new opportunities as the world builds a greener global economy. Read more about the NZA in A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy Plan and in Budget 2021.
