Encourager les mesures de carboneutralité dans les collectivités autochtones, rurales et éloignées,
Encourager les mesures de carboneutralité dans les collectivités autochtones, rurales et éloignées (EMC), un projet de recherche de QUEST Canada, porte sur les motivations, les obstacles et les projets d’énergie potentiels des zones à faible densité de population du pays au fil de la transition vers la carboneutralité.
QUEST Canada’s Pan-Atlantic NCA Program enables Atlantic Canada communities to reach net zero by equipping them with the tools and knowledge to develop and implement community energy and emissions plans and understand the net economic benefits they can provide.
Pan-Atlantic NCA
QUEST Canada’s Net-Zero Communities Accelerator (NCA) Program has been recognized with a prestigious 2025 Clean50 Top Project Award. The annual awards recognize initiatives based on their innovation, their ability to inform, and to inspire Canadians.

Programme pilote d’accélération des collectivités écoénergétiques intelligentes au Nouveau-Brunswick
Le programme pilote ACEI NB a réussi à mettre en place un accélérateur de planification énergétique communautaire pour aider une série de communautés du Nouveau-Brunswick et une Première nation, en leur fournissant les outils et les connaissances nécessaires pour élaborer et mettre en œuvre des plans énergétiques communautaires et comprendre l'avantage économique net qu'ils peuvent apporter.
Accelerating Implementation of Renewable Energy for Indigenous Communities
Accelerating Implementation of Renewable Energy (AIRE) for Indigenous Communities is a three-year project designed to help rural and remote Indigenous communities reach emission reduction targets by increasing their capacity to plan and implement land-based renewable energy initiatives (solar, wind, biomass, and geo-thermal). This project supports rural, remote Indigenous communities on their pathway to net-zero.
Powered by Communities
Powered by Communities is an awareness-raising platform that highlights and celebrates local community energy transition initiatives taking place across the country.

Why are we limiting our ability to achieve net-zero?
QUEST Canada has heard from a large number of diverse stakeholders wanting a more comprehensive net-zero dialogue – one that builds on electrification with the deployment of a diversity of additional local low-carbon energy solutions.
Low Carbon Energy Innovation
The project will combine cutting-edge research with on-the-ground qualitative analysis to develop a research database capturing the current state of low carbon innovation in the energy sector.
