The global pursuit of net zero is positioning Newfoundland and Labrador to be a significant contributor to emissions reductions around the world.
Join us on October 20, 2022 to hear about the latest developments for Newfoundland and Labrador related to renewable energy, hydrogen, mining, waste management, and emissions reductions in the offshore.
This is the best opportunity of the year to network with clean technology and environmental services stakeholders in industry, government, and academia.
The econext 2022 conference will feature panel discussions with decision-makers and industry leaders on the following topics as they relate specifically to Newfoundland and Labrador (NL):
In December of 2021, the Government of NL released its renewable energy plan. In this session hear from key decision makers on the progress that has been achieved since December – and what the next steps are in helping NL reach its renewable energy potential.
Green Hydrogen and NL’s Opportunity
NL has the potential to become a first-mover and global leader in the production of green hydrogen on a substantial scale. In this session, hear from a panel of prospective developers on what they see as being opportunities for the production and export of green hydrogen from NL.
The Latest on Offshore Wind
This session will provide attendees with an update on offshore wind development in Atlantic Canada from two perspectives. Industry representatives will give an overview of the advancements they are seeing on the ground, while the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada will provide an update on the regional assessment that is being developed for the region.
The Role of NL’s Mining Sector in the Global Energy Transition
A global energy transition will demand the production of more raw materials for wind turbines, batteries, and other clean energy technologies. NL is home to many of the minerals required, and thus presents an opportunity for economic growth for the province. This session asks two questions: how do we reduce the environmental impact of our industry today, and how do we balance future industrial development with the pursuit of net zero?
Innovation in Waste Management
NL faces significant challenges in the management of its waste – the primary obstacle being economies of scale. In this session, hear about the progress has been achieved in the province through 2022 in exploring new innovative approaches to dealing with waste streams – as well as new initiatives and new companies that are already at work!
Charting a Net Zero Future for NL’s Offshore
In this session led by The Net Zero Project, you will hear about the results of work undertaken through 2021-2022 to outline net zero pathways for NL’s offshore industry, the role that carbon offsets will play in that pursuit, and the importance of digitalization and technology.
More information on the econext 2022 conference agenda is coming soon.

Curious about municipal climate action in Newfoundland and Labrador? The results are in!
To date, we’ve spoken with 42 municipal representatives across the province who participated in econext‘s community climate action survey earlier this year. We want to share the survey results with you and further discuss which specific supports and capacity-building activities would most benefit your region and communities.
Join us on Tuesday, May 31st at 12 noon for an interactive web meeting to tell us how we can tailor knowledge-sharing initiatives and services around climate resilience to best suit local needs and climate action goals.
This initiative is a collaboration of MNL, Memorial University, Fundamental Inc., CLIMAtlantic and econext. Funding has been provided by Natural Resources Canada.
In January 2022, CRIN and Canada Cleantech Alliance launched the Accelerating Cleantech Innovation in Oil & Gas” Program designed to help Canada’s cleantech innovators develop the knowledge, tools and skills required to design and implement cleantech innovations that will help reduce the oil & gas sector’s CO2 emissions.
Join us on June 16th to meet the cleantech innovators that participated in this program, learn about their unique technologies and explore potential partnership and investment opportunities.
The event will kick off with an engaging panel that will provide insight into cleantech innovation in oil and gas. This panel will discuss the challenges and opportunities cleantech innovators may face when looking for investment and collaboration opportunities and what solutions are needed to drive us to a sustainable energy future.
