A report by the Zero Emissions Innovation Centre finds that while Metro Vancouver is investing heavily in clean energy technologies for buildings and transportation, most of the technology and infrastructure is imported. The report calls for a more integrated strategy to support local clean energy firms, develop skilled workforce, and capture greater economic value from the region's clean energy transition.
