Alberta leads the way to low-carbon transport using fossil fuels: Don Pittis | CBC News
Criticism by environmentalists of Alberta’s new Canadian Energy Centre might leave you thinking the province was stubbornly resisting fixing global climate change for the sake of their economy.
Instead,
the province is home to world-leading innovations that in just over a
year will see carbon-free transport trucks hauling freight on Highway 2,
the busy corridor that connects Calgary, Canada’s fossil fuel business
capital, to the provincial political capital, Edmonton.
It’s
called AZETEC for the Alberta Zero-Emissions Truck Electrification
Collaboration, and people behind the new scheme say that rather than
shying away from climate change advocates like Greta Thunberg, currently visiting the province, Albertans have every reason to boast.
