United States-Canada Clean Energy Dialogue - Clean Energy Research and Development and Energy Efficiency Working Group

Environment Canada’s Science and Technology Branch leads Canada’s participation in the Clean Energy Research and Development and Energy Efficiency Working Group of the United States-Canada Clean Energy Dialogue (CED).

Under Action Plan I of the CED, the Research and Development (R&D) working group focused on collaboration on future-generation biofuels, clean engines and vehicles, and energy efficiency. To take advantage of an expanded array of opportunities, both Parties agreed to give energy efficiency a greater emphasis in the second Action Plan and renamed the working group accordingly. Initiatives under Action Plan II are building on earlier work and facilitating cross-border collaboration in priority areas, including: marine energy, advanced biofuels, transportation, buildings and communities, and energy efficiency.
