Both men also talked about the involvement of Canadian companies—such as Touchstone—in oil and gas, but also focused on the opportunity for collaboration in the energy transition.

The areas identified of mutual interest were waste to energy, carbon capture and hydrogen, the Ministry’s release noted.

"green is the only color that shines through (with maybe a hint of pink). Other smart solutions could help fill out the spectrum in the future—but if the debate over blue hydrogen makes one point, it’s that you can’t slap a new label on a broken idea and re-sell it."

"From an environmental and investment perspective, we are only interested in green hydrogen. Blue is a good idea and it is easy to see why the incumbents like it but we have yet to see carbon capture and storage technology to make this economically viable.
Using grey hydrogen as a future fuel also makes no sense as, by our calculations, the carbon emissions in producing it are worse than simply burning natural gas."

With global climate change threatening to wreak havoc on their industry, insurance companies are increasingly looking to limit their exposure to the fossil fuel sector.

"This was not an issue that was central in the insurance sector, even 7 years ago," said Robin Edger, national director of climate change for the Insurance Bureau of Canada. “But now it is moving at light speed."

Work is underway to map Britain’s solar panels but previously there has been no way to anticipate short-term swings in solar generation caused by cloud cover.
OCF’s nowcasting service could bring increased certainty resulting in fewer carbon-emitting generators held in reserve.
