About the program

The Clean Fuels Fund supports Canadian clean fuel production capacity (hydrogen, renewable natural gas, ethanol, biofuels, sustainable aviation fuel), biomass supply chains and codes and standards. Capital projects receive cost-shared, conditionally repayable funding of up to $50 million per project, to a maximum of 30% of total project costs (50% for Indigenous-led projects). Feasibility, basic engineering and front-end engineering design studies can receive up to $5 million at up to 75%, non-repayable. NRCan says the program has shifted to a continuous intake process and has been extended to March 31, 2030, but the production capacity, Indigenous production capacity and biomass calls each say the call for proposals is closed.
