British Columbia’s forest sector is facing a pivotal moment. Harvest levels have fallen to 32 million cubic metres and mill closures are mounting, putting thousands of jobs at risk. A new report argues the solution is hiding in plain sight: damaged and waste fibre left on the landscape. The BC Forest Leadership Report, supported by […]

NEO and Nascent Materials to Co-Develop Next-Gen Battery Tech for Drones and Data
NEO Battery Materials announced this week that it is working with a U.S.-based technology company specializing in the development and production of high-performance lithium-iron-phosphate cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Toronto’s NEO says it has entered into a Joint Product Development Agreement with Nascent Materials, which launched out of New Jersey last year to develop advanced […]
Moment Energy Raises $5M for Expansion
Vancouver-based Moment Energy has secured $5 million in growth financing from TD Innovation Partners, signaling strong support for one of North America’s emerging leaders in EV battery repurposing and clean energy storage. The investment from TD Innovation Partners (TDIP)—TD Bank’s innovation banking arm—reflects rising institutional backing for Canadian cleantech companies building the infrastructure needed for […]
Moment Partners to Deploy Clean Energy Storage Tech in Europe and Latin America
Wind- and solar-powered energy sources are gaining popularity in Canada as the nation advances toward a Net Zero target by 2050. But these intermittent sources, on their own, are not consistent enough to reliably fuel entire power grids. One way to fill the fluctuating energy gap is through energy storage systems. “Energy storage is pivotal […]
Canadian University Puts Eco-Footprint First with High-Tech, Energy-Efficient Expansion
The University of Victoria is expanding its Engineering and Computer Science Lab department with an eye toward Net Zero targets. Structural engineer Dialog and Bird Construction are erecting the 6,400-square-metre Engineering and Computer Science Expansion building as well as the 2,200-square-metre High Bay Research and Structures Lab building out of regionally sourced mass timber from […]
NEO Adds ‘Critical Component’ to Its Battery Innovation Platform with Oversea Expansion
Earlier this year, we reported on the unveiling of advanced technology from NEO Battery Materials. Shortly thereafter, the Toronto-based innovator secured eight acres of surplus lands near Windsor Airport in Ontario to establish Canada’s first advanced silicon anode manufacturing facility. “We are proud to be establishing Canada’s first advanced silicon anode manufacturing facility, enabling us […]
From Vancouver to Halifax, List Showcases Canadian Cleantech Companies to Watch
Cleantech Group this month announced the release of its annual Cleantech 50 to Watch list, which each year spotlights early-stage companies poised to deliver breakthrough solutions relating to climate and sustainability challenges. The global list of 50 companies spans 15 countries, including Canada. “As we’ve seen throughout 2025, innovation doesn’t stand still,” commented Anthony DeOrsey, […]
Despite Uncertainty, Canada’s Clean Energy Transition ‘Remains Economically Viable’
Last month, we reported that Canada backed down on electric vehicle mandates that were deemed unfeasible. The move made some ask the question: is it economic suicide to keep pushing for a “Net Zero” future? “It’s been clear for some time that … EV mandates are unrealistic,” Barry Penner, a former B.C. Minister of Environment […]
Canada’s Economic Engine Runs on Clean Power. Energy Storage Keeps It Running.
For over a century, British Columbia—and much of Canada—built prosperity on abundant clean electricity. Hydroelectric power in BC, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Quebec. Nuclear energy in Ontario and New Brunswick. And now, renewables across the Prairies. Today, about 98 per cent of BC’s electricity and over 80 per cent of the country’s power comes […]
Canadian Startup Cracks Global List of Top Climate Tech Innovators
Rare earth elements such as Neodymium, Praseodymium, Terbium, and Dysprosium are essential for permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and consumer electronics. Yet fewer than 1% of these critical materials are currently recycled, and global supply remains concentrated in a handful of jurisdictions. Toronto-based cleantech innovator Cyclic Materials over the summer announced a […]
