Energy & Clean Technologies

Alberta’s long standing oil and gas industry has created a ripe innovation ecosystem for the emergence of alternative and clean technologies. Edmonton is the closest urban centre to Alberta’s largest oil sands and has supported developments in natural gas, methane, butane and ethane production. The City of Edmonton has enacted the ambitious Energy Transition Strategy and the Climate Resilient Edmonton strategy and is becoming a hotspot for cleantech growth in the areas of transportation, energy storage, power management, agriculture, and process technologies.

Agriculture and Agri-tech

Edmonton’s agriculture and agri-tech industry are spurred by the large agricultural sector in Alberta, and the rich number of food, crop, and biosystem research institutions. Revenue from agriculture exceeds $3.8 Billion in Alberta, with the Edmonton area being the top exporter of wheat, canola, oats and barley. Most recently, Edmonton has become the home to several hemp and cannabis facilities, creating a new sector of agriculture that has seen impressive growth across Canada.
