Under Pillar 4 of the Strategy – Greening Marine Transportation – Ontario aims to build an environmentally sustainable marine sector and an overall greener provincial transportation network by supporting low-carbon initiatives, including alternative fuels research. As part of the actions under this pillar, Ontario is committed to working with the federal government to support Transport Canada’s Canadian Green Shipping Corridor Framework goal of a net-zero path by 2050 for Canada’s marine sector.
