"HARNESSING CANADA’S ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT TO REMOVE CARBON DIOXIDE FROM THE ATMOSPHERE", THE HILL TIMES
“If a room is increasingly filling with smoke, it’s important to slow how quickly that’s happening. But remember, things are still getting worse, just more slowly. At some point, you’ve got to start to clear the air. The same is true for greenhouse gases.”
In this piece, Senator Deacon discusses how to craft programs and policies that will catalyze the investment needed to scale existing and emerging technologies for carbon dioxide removal. To enable the success of innovators in this space, Senator Deacon argues that Canada needs an entrepreneurial approach that involves political leaders, government officials, regulators, and academia to enable the success of private sector innovators in this space.
