Canada’s transportation sector is a vital part of the economy, facilitating the movement of goods and people across vast distances through roads,
rail, aviation, and marine. As one of the largest countries in the world, Canada’s
transportation infrastructure is key to connecting cities, provinces, and international
markets. The transportation sector is undergoing a significant transformation with
a focus on reducing emissions and enhancing efficiency through the adoption of
clean technologies. With a strong emphasis on electric vehicles (EVs), hydrogen
fuel cells, sustainable biofuels, and intelligent transportation systems, Canada is
advancing towards a low-carbon future.

Supported by federal and provincial policies aimed at achieving net-zero emissions, the sector presents substantial opportunities for clean technology providers to contribute to the development and deployment of innovative solutions across road, rail, marine, and aviation. The transition to sustainable transportation is a critical area of focus, offering a promising landscape for technology-driven solutions.

- Canada’s 2nd largest source of emissions, 22% of total emissions.

• 156 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually.
• Passenger transport accounts for the largest share at 58% of emissions, while freight accounts
