Financial assistance of up to $40 million for the implementation of major projects to reduce GHG emissions at industrial sites.

grant_single_labels|terms_and_conditions

This grant provides financial support through specific modalities to incentivize large industrial projects focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The funding modalities are structured to align with project milestones and performance outcomes.
  • The financial support is calculated per measure based on the lesser of the following parameters: necessary amount to reduce the simple payback period, a percentage of eligible expenses, a dollar maximum based on GHG emissions reduced annually at a rate of $100/ton for ten years, or the amount requested by the participant.
  • For energy efficiency or energy conversion projects associated with industries under the SPEDE program, the support can cover up to 75% of eligible costs.
  • Payment disbursements are made in stages, with the first payment constituting 25% of the total financial aid after initial documentation is completed and approved.
  • Additional payments are contingent upon documented project progress, such as mid-way project completion and project implementation, each triggering subsequent 25% payments.
  • The final payment adjusts to the final calculated eligible financial support based on actual GHG reduction metrics reported and verified.
