As Canada works to build a stronger, more resilient economy, investments in clean fuels and emerging energy technologies are helping turn Canadian innovation into economic growth, strengthen energy security and create new opportunities for workers and businesses across the country. By advancing Canadian clean fuels initiatives, we are committing to lowering emissions and investing in our low carbon future.
Today, the Honourable Ruby Sahota, Secretary of State for Combatting Crime, on behalf of the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced $4 million in funding under Natural Resources Canada's Energy Innovation Program Clean Fuels Call for Proposals for two projects in the Greater Toronto Area that will strengthen Canada's clean fuels sector.
The funding will support research and development projects led by Next Hydrogen and CERT Systems Inc.
Together, these investments will accelerate Canada's path to net-zero, advancing domestic innovation, building a competitive clean technology sector and strengthening Canada's position as a global leader in clean fuels.
