📋 Tender Overview
Industries, businesses and communities are starting to switch to low-carbon and renewable fuels with help from the new Clean Fuels Fund.
“Moving to cleaner fuels is part of our commitment to a greener Nova Scotia,” said Tory Rushton, Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables. “The Clean Fuels Fund gives our industrial and business sectors the support they need to begin making that shift toward cleaner energy. It also helps keep Nova Scotia at the forefront of exploration of green hydrogen and other clean fuels.”
The fund helps replace fossil fuels with cleaner fuels for heating, transportation and industrial processes. Options include biofuels and biomass from forestry waste products, green hydrogen and renewable natural gas.
The fund started in 2023-24 with $3 million for seven ready-to-launch projects in a quick-start stream. Another $3 million will be invested through an open call for eligible projects later this year.
The Clean Fuels Fund is a commitment in Our Climate, Our Future: Nova Scotia’s Climate Change Plan for Clean Growth. The plan aims to create a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable future for all Nova Scotians. It includes initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, switch to clean energy and transportation, create a clean economy, make homes and buildings energy efficient and able to stand up to the impacts of climate change, and help Nova Scotians adapt to the changing climate.
