The Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN) is a Canadian non-profit organization focused on advancing clean technology innovation in the oil and gas industry.

CRIN is where this collaboration happens. We are a pan-Canadian network of networks that connects passionate and engaged people across the clean resource innovation ecosystem. We provide the space where relationships are built, ideas are shared, and progress is achieved. Innovation and collaboration come together at CRIN to support a cleaner energy future. Our vision is for Canada to be the global leader in cleaner hydrocarbons, from source to end use.
