Clean Fuels Program

Program Purpose:

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.
