New report backs Canada's ambition to be energy superpower as Ottawa, B.C. tout LNG
A new report is giving fresh support to Canada's ambition to be an energy superpower as the federal and B.C. governments push for increased exports of liquefied natural gas. But in a recent analysis, IISD rejects the portrayal of LNG as a transition fuel, warning that there are potent methane emissions, which contribute to climate change, during the production of natural gas through fracking.
Budgeting for Net Zero: Powering India's reliable clean energy future
This report assesses the cost competitiveness of firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) relative to new thermal power in India through 2050, any government support needed to accelerate FDRE uptake as the cost-effective generation option, and the macroeconomic implications of scaling FDRE.

Northern Ontario's renowned freshwater lab gets an upgrade
By this time next year, staff scientists at northwestern Ontario's renowned IISD-ELA will be settled into a brand-new home—one that's been nearly a decade in the making. Currently under construction, IISD-ELA is building the mass-timber, 10,000-square-foot Centre for Climate and Lake Learning.
How Canadian LNG Impacts the Climate: Carbon emissions, fuel switching, and cleaner alternatives
Producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Canada will increase domestic emissions, undermine the global energy transition, and divert resources away from climate solutions. Our expert, Steven Haig, explains.
