The Government of British Columbia, Government of Canada and Shell Canada are each committing funding toward the new B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy and collaborating to decarbonize the economy and scale up clean energy.

Shifting from our reliance on fossil fuels to low-carbon energy requires an all-hands-on-deck approach," said Premier John Horgan. "That's why we are working together with industry and government partners to create a centre for innovation and clean energy that will build on B.C.'s strengths as a climate leader. By supporting new technologies, we will stimulate investment and create the good jobs of the future."

The Government of B.C. and Shell Canada have each committed $35 million to the centre that will leverage additional public and private-sector investments and participation. The Government of Canada has committed up to $35 million for the centre's innovative projects.
