Clean Growth Office

Accelerating clean growth projects and infrastructure development is key to the future of Canada’s prosperity and will help advance Canada’s climate, biodiversity and economic objectives.    

The Clean Growth Office (CGO) at the Privy Council Office:

• supports system-wide coordination and culture change to advance major clean growth projects
• advocates for clean growth projects and reducing barriers for investment
• tracks projects to ensure timely federal decision-making
• is an open door for project proponents, provinces and territories, Indigenous partners and other organizations

CGO supports proponents looking to: build clean energy projects or invest in Canada’s clean economy; advance Indigenous-led projects and projects with strong Indigenous participation; seek advice on accessing funding; and benefit from enhanced federal coordination.

CGO mission

CGO works with industry, other governments and Indigenous partners on projects and convenes federal departments to accelerate decision-making and create efficiencies. Project outcomes are our measure of success.

CGO works across clean growth sectors including:

• Power and electricity — building up clean energy sources and transmission capacity
• Critical minerals — inputs for the clean technologies of the future
• Greening industry and materials — through electrification, carbon capture and greener inputs
• Enabling infrastructure — the ports, roads and transportation needed to unlock growth
• Clean fuels — supporting the transition to cleaner fuels with significant export and domestic use potential
