Education and Awareness Project Funding - Clean Transportation and Clean Fuels

Educational and Awareness Grant for Clean Transportation and Clean Fuels

Are you looking to make a positive impact on the environment while educating the public about clean transportation and clean fuels in Canada? The Education and Awareness Project Funding by NRCan aims to support initiatives that increase knowledge and awareness of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and clean fuels in various sectors. This grant opportunity targets organizations and legal entities in Canada, including not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, academic institutions, government entities, and international organizations. The primary goal is to bridge gaps in understanding and confidence in ZEVs and clean fuels, leading to a smoother transition towards a greener and more sustainable future in alignment with Canada's emissions reduction targets and net-zero goals by 2050. The grant focuses on three key areas: 1. Zero Emission Vehicle Awareness Initiative - Light-Duty Vehicles: Projects aimed at promoting awareness, knowledge, and confidence in light-duty zero-emission vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, micro-mobility solutions, and public charging infrastructure. 2. Zero Emission Vehicle Awareness Initiative - Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles: Initiatives targeting education and awareness gaps to facilitate greater adoption of zero-emission and low-emission options for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles. 3. Clean Fuels Awareness Projects: Supporting projects that address knowledge gaps about clean fuel types and technologies across industries, commercial applications, and the general public. Grant participants can engage in various project activities such as organizing educational events, developing training materials, conducting outreach campaigns, creating web resources, and offering professional training on charging, refueling, and clean fuel technologies. Successful applicants may receive cost-shared, non-repayable contributions for eligible projects, with NRCan funding up to 50% of project costs for for-profit organizations and up to 75% for non-profit organizations, government entities, and Indigenous organizations or businesses. Projects can commence upon receiving the Letter of Conditional Approval, although expenses incurred before the contribution agreement signing are at the applicant's own risk. This grant opportunity aligns with the Government of Canada's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net-zero targets by necessitating a transition to ZEVs and clean fuels, essential components in decarbonizing various sectors like transportation and industry. The initiative not only supports environmental sustainability but also promotes economic growth and innovation in the clean transportation and fuels sector. Organizations that contribute to raising awareness and understanding of clean technologies play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable future for Canada and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility and green technology adoption. By promoting education and awareness of ZEVs and clean fuels, this grant enables organizations to drive impactful change, address climate challenges, and contribute to building a cleaner and more sustainable Canada for future generations. Get involved today and be part of the movement towards a greener, low-carbon economy through the Education and Awareness Project Funding for Clean Transportation and Clean Fuels in Canada.
