Programming using contributions to support Clean Fuels, Transportation and Industry will help deliver on the policy objective enabling energy transition, as a key component of achieving Canada’s climate change objectives, and path to net-zero. Specifically, programming fosters greater energy efficient and electrification of transportation, as well as growing the production, and end-use of clean fuels in two essential sectors of the economy – transportation and industry.This programming also supports implementation of key policy objectives, including implementing the Clean Fuels Regulations, complementing enhanced carbon pricing, more stringent vehicle and industry emission standards, all laying the foundation to be net-zero by 2050.

We include agreements with for-profit recipients that started on or after April 1, 2021, and keep the latest amendment of each agreement, so values are the current agreement value, not money paid out. Departments report on their own schedule, so the most recent quarter is incomplete. Recipients are linked to company pages by exact name match. This is not an endorsement or an eligibility determination — check each program's official page.
