Capital Project: Energy Recovery or District Energy
We fund capital projects that use recovered or renewable thermal energy in new or existing facilities. This funding helps Canadian cities and communities of all sizes use less energy, which reduces their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improves their air quality.
Your capital project must reduce GHG emissions by at least 40% by using recovered or renewable thermal energy in new or existing facilities.
Examples of what you might implement:
Thermal energy use, including:
Energy generation from waste or landfill gas (does not include incineration)
Construction, retrofitting or expansion of district energy systems that use recovered or renewable thermal energy supply
Using a low carbon energy source (e.g., residual biomass) to displace fossil fuels in existing district energy systems
Combined heat and power, cogeneration or trigeneration systems
We will fund other innovative ideas! Contact us to ask if your idea qualifies for funding.
