Financement de la croissance propre : quatre exemples de la communauté internationale intéressants pour le Canada

The policy brief examines four international models of clean growth financing to provide lessons for Canada's transition to carbon neutrality by 2050. It highlights Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation for its dual focus on profitability and emissions reduction, the UK's contracts for difference for effective risk-sharing in renewable energy, Norway's Longship project for its holistic state support of carbon capture and storage, and the US Inflation Reduction Act's use of tax credits tied to carbon intensity and social standards for hydrogen production.

• Australia's Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) has successfully combined financial profitability with carbon reduction, investing over 37.15 billion AUD and removing more than 200 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent since its 2012 inception with 10 billion AUD in capital.
• The United Kingdom utilizes a 'contracts for difference' regime for renewable energy that ensures stable income for producers and prevents excessive state subsidies by requiring producers to pay the government when market prices exceed a reference cost.
• Norway's Longship project demonstrates a holistic approach to carbon capture and storage (CCS) where the state provided two-thirds of the first phase's cost (over 3.5 billion CAD), streamlined regulations, and used carbon pricing to stimulate demand.
• The US Inflation Reduction Act employs hydrogen tax credits that are scaled based on carbon intensity and can be multiplied by five if specific wage and apprenticeship requirements are met.
