OM DENNE EPISODE
British Columbia’s mining and forestry sectors supply the raw materials needed to support a net zero economy. But when it comes to powering the fleets that carry these resources from pit to port or forest to mill, diesel still dominates––and electrifying them is anything but simple.
In this episode of Cleantech Forward, host Jeanette Jackson talks to the people doing the heavy lifting when it comes to decarbonizing transportation in BC’s foundational industries. Flyn McCarthy, mining industry advisor to Foresight’s BC Net Zero Innovation Network, shares how he’s helping mining companies go back to the industry’s electric roots. And Eric Little shares the inspiring story of how Edison Motors is reviving BC’s reputation for building cool trucks…but this time, they’re electric.
