Energy Innovation Program (EIP) – Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) Call for Proposals │ Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)

none

Value

The call is open to projects that request between $3,000,000 and $7,000,000, comprising up to 50% of eligible total project cost (or 75% for Indigenous applicants), over a period of up to a maximum of five years. Funding is available beginning on April 1, 2026.

Description

To position Canada as a leader in CCUS solutions, this call for proposals supports proponents undertaking the complex, resource‑intensive engineering and project definition activities required to complete Front‑End Engineering Design (FEED) studies for CCUS projects. A FEED study represents a pivotal stage in the project development lifecycle. It is a detailed engineering effort that follows preliminary and conceptual design studies that fully validate the feasibility of the proposed project and outline the preferred design pathway. The primary purpose of a FEED study is to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the project scope, a detailed Class 3 cost estimate, a refined risk register, and a robust project schedule.

Eligible Applicants

Eligible Canadian recipients include the following legal entities validly incorporated or registered in Canada:

  • For profit organizations
  • Utilities
  • Indigenous organizations:
    • Indigenous communities or governments
    • Tribal Councils or entities that fulfill a similar function (e.g., general councils)
    • National or regional Indigenous councils, or tribal organizations
    • Indigenous (majority owned and controlled by Indigenous people) for-profit or not-for-profit organizations

Eligible Expenses

FEED projects will be assessed on their value for public funding support, including the solution’s long-term commercial potential and contribution to the growth and maturity of Canada’s CCUS ecosystem, such as the extent to which the CCUS technology or application differs from projects already constructed in a comparable context in Canada.

Projects must fall under one of the following categories:

  • Point-Source CCUS: Projects focused on the capture of CO₂ from industrial facilities, such as cement plants, iron and steel production, chemical plants, upstream oil and gas plants, upgraders and refineries. This also includes capture from abated natural gas power generation.
  • Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR): This category includes negative emissions technologies such as Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). For DAC projects, the application must provide detailed evidence of a suitable location that meets the specific needs of DAC technology. This includes a confirmed access to low-carbon energy sources to power the facility and a viable plan for transporting the captured CO₂ to a secure geological storage site.
  • CCUS Transportation and Storage Infrastructure: Projects centered on the development of dedicated CO₂ transportation pipelines and/or regional storage hubs. As a hub’s viability depends on its ability to serve multiple capture projects, applications under this category must provide a detailed plan for the hub’s development, including the number of prospective emitters to be connected, a plan for non-discriminatory open access, and an analysis of the CO₂ stream specifications for each potential emitter. The application must demonstrate that the hub can manage the potential for impurities in the CO₂ streams from various sources.

Deadline Date

Application is on rolling basis.
