Mission-oriented RD&D – federal tools and measures to translate theory to practice for Canada’s regulated energy systems
La recherche, le développement et la démonstration axés sur la mission : outils et mesures fédéraux permettant de traduire la théorie en pratique pour les systèmes énergétiques réglementés du Canada

Panel Organized by: Office of Energy Research and Development, Natural Resources Canada

Mission-oriented innovation is a mechanism to facilitate coordination of many actors and limited resources to achieve ambitious goals. The theory is relatively understood, the practice is more difficult, especially in a context such as Canada’s energy sector. This panel will discuss the complex issue of transforming Canada’s electricity systems to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and how the federal government can enable mission-oriented innovation to accelerate that transformation. NRCan’s Office of Energy R&D will present its Innovation Systems Analysis Tool and Innovation & Electricity Regulation Initiative developed to facilitate a mission-oriented approach. Panelists will respond with their perspectives transitioning to a mission-oriented approach within the electricity sector.

L'innovation axée sur la mission est un mécanisme visant à faciliter la coordination de nombreux acteurs et de ressources limitées pour atteindre des objectifs ambitieux. La théorie est relativement bien comprise, mais la pratique est plus difficile, surtout dans un contexte comme celui du secteur énergétique canadien. Ce groupe d'experts discutera de la question complexe de la transformation des systèmes d'électricité du Canada pour atteindre la carboneutralité d'ici 2050 et de la façon dont le gouvernement fédéral peut favoriser l'innovation axée sur la mission pour accélérer cette transformation. Le Bureau de recherche et développement énergétiques de RNCan présentera son outil d'analyse des systèmes d'innovation et son initiative Innovation et la réglementation de l'électricité, élaborés pour faciliter une approche axée sur la mission. Les panélistes répondront avec leurs perspectives de transition vers une approche axée sur la mission dans le secteur de l'électricité.
