OPINION | BY SHANNON WATT | March 16, 2023
The energy transition to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 is an ambitious deadline, and achieving our climate goals will require an all-hands-on-deck approach.
However, decarbonization is a dial and not a switch. It will take time for technologies to develop, resources to be available, and communities to accept change. But we can help turn the dial more quickly if we include all low-emission energy options now.
Propane is an affordable, accessible, and low-emission Canadian energy source essential to our national energy system.
To effect change and bring real progress, we need real solutions and an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach. As Akio Toyoda, president and CEO of the Toyota Motor Corporation has repeatedly said, “(electric vehicles) are not the only way to achieve the world’s carbon neutrality goals”.
The World LPG Association’s The Voice connects with Shannon Watt to discuss her key goals for the association and opportunities for propane in the Canadian market.
