A life-cycle view essential on EV battery opportunities and risks

Over the past few months, the economic opportunities that the electrification of transportation, particularly the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), might offer Canada

Opinion | BY MARK WINFIELD, SUMEET SOOCH | June 16, 2021

Unifor president Jerry Dias is pictured at a press conference at the Ford Connectivity and Innovation Centre in Ottawa on Oct. 8, 2020. The issue of Canada’s potential contributions to electric vehicle supply chains, especially batteries, from the mining of primary components like lithium and other metals, through to design and manufacturing, has been at the centre of discussions about their widespread adoption, write Mark Winfield and Sumeet Sooch.

Climate and shifting markets define energy challenges for Canada

The state of energy policy in Canada, as it relates to fossil fuels, is defined by two major issues: the stalling out, with the possible

Opinion | BY MARK WINFIELD | December 7, 2020

Canada's federal Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson, pictured Feb. 24, 2020, on the Hill. The federal government’s newly proposed climate change legislation, Bill C-12, would only establish emission reduction targets for 2030 and beyond, and although requiring planning and reporting, does little to advance the achievement of what targets might be set. The government’s initiative on low-carbon fuel standards seems to be faltering, writes Mark Winfield. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
