STATUS: Closed
The Energy Innovation Program (EIP) – Clean Fuels Call for Proposals (“the Call”) will target research and development, pilot, and demonstration proposals that support the development of sustainable, cost-effective technologies critical to Canada’s leadership in the global clean fuels transition. This Call will invest in the clean fuels value chain, supporting technologies that facilitate production, transport and storage.
For the purpose of this Call, a clean fuel is a liquid or gaseous fuel with a significantly lower lifecycle carbon intensity than unabated fossil fuels. Examples include advanced biofuels and low-carbon ammonia, synthetic fuels, and hydrogen.

Why is Canada investing in Clean Fuels?
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 requires a combination of emerging technologies that are either in early development or not yet widely deployed. Clean fuels will play a critical role in decarbonizing applications where direct electrification is challenging or not feasible by 2050, such as in heavy-duty transport, aviation, and decarbonization of industrial processes.
Results
As the funded projects are announced, they will be posted on our Current Investments page.
