Canada’s Carbon Management Ecosystem
With the largest pipeline of emerging carbon management solutions, carbonNEXT provides support for ventures looking to commercialize and helps industries adopt business-friendly technologies that reduce emissions.
carbonNEXT is a joint program of Foresight and Carbon Management Canada.
Our goal is to catalyze the advancement of carbon management solutions that will reduce 100 MT of GHG emissions by 2030.
Achieving net zero GHGs is among the hardest issues we face due to the global economy relying on hard-to-decarbonize industries. It is estimated we need 2,000 to 10,000 MT of carbon capture annually to reach net zero, but over half of the CCUS technology needed is not commercially ready yet.
Expediting the Development of Carbon Technologies
Our venture programming connects carbon technologies with training and support to accelerate your path to adoption. Join us on our mission to eliminate 100MT of GHG emissions through carbon management solutions by 2030.
