U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm met with Canadian Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson to discuss an action plan to expand energy cooperation between their departments.
The two nation's "strong international partnership" aims to protect the planet and push energy costs down, Granholm said in a May 13 Department of Energy news release, adding the countries are committed to "deepening our bilateral energy relationship to build an equitable clean energy future."
"Together, with the leadership of Minister Wilkinson, we will work to accelerate the clean energy transition in both our countries, spurring job growth and ushering in a 100% clean energy future," Granholm continued in the news release.
Granholm and Wilkinson also discussed the two nations' ongoing and future collaborations on areas such as hydrogen and clean fuels, critical minerals, carbon capture and carbon dioxide.
"Canada and the United States share a common border, common interests and common values," Wilkinson said in the news release. "We have an opportunity to work actively together to accelerate effective implementation while concurrently building an economy that will provide jobs and economic opportunity for all. I look forward to working with Secretary Granholm to make this happen."
