Deadline: 23-Nov-22
The Government of Canada is seeking applications for the Clean Fuels Fund – Establishing Biomass Supply Chains.
The biomass supply chain component of the Clean Fuels Fund will ensure a steady and usable supply of sustainable feedstock is available to clean fuel production facilities across the country. It will support the establishment of regional hubs to gather feedstock from various sources and locations.
Program Benefits
-
By supporting domestic biomass feedstock infrastructure projects, they can:
- Advance the collection, supply, and distribution of biomass materials
- Minimize feedstock supply risks
- Enable access to stranded or underused biomass resources
- Seek to increase the economically viable biomass supply radius
- Establishing sustainable supply chains will benefit farmers, forest harvest operators, saw mills, and municipal waste services by opening up new opportunities and markets for feedstocks that align with Type 2 in the Clean Fuels Regulations for producing an advanced clean fuels.
Eligible Projects
- Capital biomass supply chain projects that use technologies in advanced stages of technological readiness (TRL-9) and that are designed for commercial deployment.
- Feasibility studies, basic engineering studies and detailed front-end engineering studies to assess the new build or expansion of low carbon fuel production facilities. In addition, feasibility studies to assess the feasibility of establishing a regional biomass supply chain risk rating.
Eligibility Criteria
-
Legal entities validly incorporated or registered in Canada including not-for-profit and for-profit organizations such as:
- Electricity or gas utilities
- Private sector companies
- Industry associations
- Research associations
- Standards organizations
- Indigenous and community groups
- Canadian academic institutions
- Provincial, territorial, regional or municipal governments or their departments or agencies where applicable.
