The Government of Canada has announced a $9.4 million investment in four tidal energy projects that will bring clean energy technologies to the Atlantic region. Tidal energy is a renewable energy that has the potential to significantly reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve local air quality by displacing electricity generated from fossil fuels. The projects include advancing research on river hydrokinetic and in-stream tidal energy technologies and fish and marine mammal interactions with tidal devices.
