The NRTEE has retained ÉcoRessources Consultants in order to: 1) explore the types of market barriers and market failures that may be impeding low-carbon emission technology deployment; 2) evaluate the degree to which the theoretical market penetration rates provided in the Nyboer study for certain key technologies are realistic and provide a ‘ground-truthing’ of the predictions found in the study; and 3) provide guidance in the development of technology deployment policy to complement carbon pricing policy.
