As jurisdictions around the world work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build more resilient energy systems, clean fuels are emerging as a key part of the solution. With abundant natural resources and a growing focus on innovation, Newfoundland and Labrador is well-positioned to lead in this transition. Join econext for an online workshop as we explore the opportunities and challenges of clean fuel adoption across some of the province’s most critical economic sectors.

This session builds on the findings of econext’s recent research, which took a sector-specific approach to assessing the potential for clean fuel use within Newfoundland and Labrador. The research focused on the following areas:
• Marine Transportation
• Port Operations
• Electricity Grid Integration
• Remote Communities
• Heavy Industry (e.g. Mining)
• Heavy Duty Transportation
• Public Transportation
• Aviation

Session participants will be provided with a high-level overview of the study’s findings and invited to offer feedback that helps validate and enhance the insights. Your input will help shape future work, ensuring it reflects real-world needs and supports informed decision-making.

If you’re a stakeholder in any of these areas—whether you work in operations, infrastructure, energy, or policy—your perspective is vital. This is a chance to connect with peers, share your expertise, and contribute to shaping a cleaner, more sustainable energy future for Newfoundland and Labrador. Register now to take part in this important conversation.

Newfoundland and Labrador is positioned to lead in the clean energy transition, and marine transportation and port operations are key sectors in that shift. Join econext for an engaging online workshop as part of our newest series as we explore the opportunities and challenges of adopting clean fuels across these critical industries.

This session builds on the findings of econext’s recently published discussion paper and invites participants to help refine and validate those insights through real-world perspectives. We’ll take a close look at the technical, economic, and environmental dimensions of clean fuel use, with a focus on what’s possible—and what’s needed—in a Newfoundland and Labrador context.

If you’re a stakeholder in marine operations, port infrastructure, energy, or policy, your input is vital. This is a chance to collaborate with peers, share your expertise, and help shape the next steps in advancing clean fuels in the province. Join the conversation and be part of a growing movement to chart a cleaner, more sustainable future for Newfoundland and Labrador.
