The Government of Canada is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Canada's leading research universities are at the foundation of the research, development and innovation ecosystem that will enable an economy which embraces a net-zero future.

Carbon Solutions @ Western University is based on academic and partner collaboration to address carbon reduction and replacement – the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases. The sectors of focus for carbon reduction will have strong ties to Southwestern Ontario for opportunities that will have significant national impact either directly or through validation for deployment across Canada and internationally.
