Many countries are studying the potential role that increased electrification of the economy can play in reducing national greenhouse gas emissions and in achieving net zero emissions targets. Canada, a major supplier of energy to the world, has committed to cut emissions by 40-45% from 2005 levels by 2030 and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. In this webinar, Peter Fraser, Head of Gas, Coal and Power Markets Division at the International Energy Agency, will speak about some of the opportunities and challenges for electrification in Canada, drawing on a report recently released by the IEA: 'Canada 2022: Energy Policy Review.'
