Grants and Contributions

Canada is funding the Recipient to conduct planning activities for the transition to zero emission buses (ZEBs) in the City of Thunder Bay, Ontario, by addressing planning requirements to enable public transit fleet electrification and implementation.

The project, spearheaded by Clean Energy Canada at Simon Fraser University, brought together academic experts and industry partners, and explored the relationship between low-carbon construction and project costs for typical building types across Canada by switching to lower embodied carbon emissions materials and implementing building design changes.

This project aims to ensure private finance accounts for the risks and opportunities of climate change, emphasizing the poorest and most vulnerable needs and priorities.

Project activities include: (1) leveraging the United Nations (UN) platform to build international support for the strategy of the UN Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance; (2) shaping the international narrative of private finance towards the need for every financial decision to take climate change into account; (3) working with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), UN entities, and permanent missions to develop a clear understanding of the barriers to low-carbon, climate resilient investment in developing countries; (4) working with MDBs, UN entities, and the Conference of Parties (COP) Presidency on a common approach to aligning financial flows with the Paris Agreement; (5) working with UN entities, governments, the private sector, and civil society to deliver on the mandate of the high-level event on Financing for Development in the era of COVID-19 and beyond; (6) identifying solutions and strengthening commitments to mobilize climate finance, particularly for those interventions that reduce poverty and inequalities, with an emphasis on gender-based inequalities.

Direct beneficiaries of this project include UN member states, stakeholders in the financial sector, MDBs and UN agencies and departments. The Special Envoy’s focus on these influential actors helps reorient public and private capital flows to mainstream climate action, address gender inequalities and respond to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, there are many indirect beneficiaries from this initiative, particularly women and girls.

This International Technology Pilot and Demonstration, ITPD - RoW - ZBHRF will be a pilot demonstration of a zero boiloff liquid hydrogen storage system. T system integrates cryogenic storage equipment to significantly reduce losses for customer Habas (Turkey).

To support the acquisition of automated high-speed, state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, using recycled content, seeking zero-waste and 100% recyclable, increasing the production capacity at the facility and creating new jobs in a rural community.

The project includes the procurement of 350 zero emission buses, and the installation of 232 charging stations, upgrades to two facilities, the installation of a new substation and related infrastructure, and the construction of a vehicle storage facility.

The purpose of this agreement is to increase awareness, availability and use of lower carbon vehicles and fuels in Canada by supporting the installation of 17 electric vehicle chargers in Quebec.

This project promotes greater awareness among Canadians of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

The project is mostly related to conducting a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study to focus on the technical requirements as well as financial and regulatory aspects and permitting requirements to execute a demonstration project.

The objective of this Project is to provide Canada with a standardized, affordable, and scalable solution for achieving Net-Zero energy-ready housing, reduce the country's carbon footprint and create a sustainable future while making sustainable living more accessible and affordable for homeowners.
