Moderniser les ports du Canada : une entreprise tant économique qu'environnementale

The Canadian Climate Institute asserts that modernizing Canada's ports through electrification and the adoption of carbon-neutral fuels is essential for economic growth and climate action. It highlights the risk of Canadian ports becoming hubs for polluting vessels if they fail to adapt to emerging International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards and global competition from China and India.

• Modernized and electrified ports are critical hubs for the clean energy transition, linking offshore wind installations to the power grid and facilitating the trade of sustainable fuels and electrified transport.
• Canada faces economic risks and potential export penalties if it does not follow the lead of geopolitical competitors like China and India, who are rapidly electrifying their ports to support cleaner trade growth.
• The International Maritime Organization (IMO) aims for the international shipping sector to be carbon neutral by 2050, with global emission pricing and cleanliness standards expected within two years.
• The Global Maritime Forum projects that demand for hydrogen-derived fuels, such as e-methanol or e-ammonia, will exceed 500 million tonnes by 2040, potentially creating a trillion-dollar market and hundreds of thousands of green jobs.
• Without government support to procure renewable energy and carbon-neutral fuels, major Canadian ports in Vancouver, Montreal, and Halifax risk becoming preferred destinations for the world's most polluting ships.
