Nova Scotia Lobster Fleet Electrification Assessment

This report presents an overview of the opportunity to modernize Nova Scotia’s lobster fishing fleet with zero-emission propulsion systems by capturing a fleet-level perspective and examining the potential for zero-emission technologies.  The goal of this report is to provide lobster fishers, boatbuilders, and decision-makers with an overview of the technology’s potential and begin to equip them with the information they need to make system-level plans to decarbonize at a scale and pace that fits with Canada’s and Nova Scotia’s commitments to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
