Join leading industrial players from the most energy intensive sectors at the only pan-Canadian conference dedicated to supporting forward-thinking, efficient and cost-competitive strategy to drive meaningful carbon emission reduction.
Navigating the rippling effects of US politics, in addition to a new direction in Canadian government, how are Canadian industrials formulating ambitious plans to manage carbon emissions whilst aligning with business growth in the short and long term? Where are the heavy emitters committing funds and resources in technology deployment amidst political/economic uncertainty? How are Canada’s industrial landscape adapting to a new era of global trade opportunities? How are industrials tackling buyer-seller dynamics to incentivise procurement of carbon-reduced products?
Connect with 200+ CTOs, CSOs and leaders in decarbonization from energy-intensive sectors spanning steel, chemicals, aggregates, cement, oil & gas, construction materials and more.
The goal of the event – to ensure that you have the insights and technical information you need to reduce CO2 competitively.

Shannon Wilson, carbonNext, ForsightCan
“It was a truly enriching experience to participate in the Decarb Connect Canada conference panel session focused on ‘Mobilising Capital and Private Investment to Drive Industrial Decarbonisation in Canada. Our discussions illuminated a critical aspect of the path towards achieving our net-zero targets by 2050 – the enormous investment requirements of CCUS and hydrogen.”
