Economic Instruments for Long-term Reductions in Energy-based Carbon Emissions

report cover

RELEASED
2005

The NRTEE has examined the role of economic instruments in supporting technologies with the potential to reduce energy-based carbon emissions on both the demand and supply sides of the energy equation. How a government taxes and spends has an enormous effect on the way the economy works – and the way to maximize this impact is to ensure policies work together to support over-arching goals, like a sustainable energy future.

The result of a two-year multistakeholder process, the NRTEE has developed a set of recommendations aimed at helping the country take a leadership position in the innovation of technologies that will lay the foundations of a sustainable energy future, in Canada and around the world.
