Environment and Climate Change Canada Funding Opportunities under Low Carbon Economy Fund

​

As members may be aware, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) launched a new intake for the “Champions Stream” of the Low Carbon Economy Fund on January 27^th. The program provides funding support to reduce GHG emissions and can contribute between $1 million and $25 million to projects that meet program criteria.

ECCC is looking for projects that result in “material, incremental and cost-effective GHG emissions reductions in 2030 and over the lifetime of the project.”  Technologies used must also be commercially available (8 or above on the Technology Readiness Level scale).

Projects that explore possible methods of reducing GHG emissions reductions but do not implement them (e.g. projects focussed on research and development, feasibility/pre-engineering studies, behavioural change, or education and capacity building) are not eligible.

For more information, members are encouraged to explore the following resources:

• Challenge page, which summarizes key info in terms of available funding, eligibility requirements and application process;
• Applicant guide for detailed information;
• Frequently asked questions.

HRAI will be hosting a webinar to assist members who may be interested in pursuing these funding opportunities. Stay tuned for more details.
