Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has announced a call for proposals to support projects focused on electric vehicle (EV) charging and clean fuels, with a funding cap of $300,000. NRCan highlighted that on-road transportation contributes to 18% of Canada's greenhouse gas emissions, emphasizing the need to transition to zero-emission vehicles. The government acknowledged key barriers related to charging infrastructure and public understanding of clean fuel technologies. To tackle these challenges, NRCan is seeking projects in two main areas: EV charging infrastructure projects and clean fuels awareness initiatives. Eligible projects are those that aim to close knowledge gaps and promote awareness of clean fuel technologies among Canadians. The call for proposals requires projects to have a national reach or focus on underserved regions across Canada. For-profit organizations can receive up to 50% of project costs, with maximum funding limits based on the project duration. Non-profits, governments, or Indigenous organizations are eligible for higher funding support. The deadline for proposal submissions is April 30. The initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of EV charging and clean fuels in Canada, ultimately contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable transportation solutions.
