The Decarbonization Incentive Program (DIP) is a merit-based program funded by proceeds collected from the Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS). DIP’s objectives are to incentivize long-term decarbonization of Canada’s industrial sectors and support Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals.
Eligible Applicants
The program will support single or multi-year projects to accelerate the deployment of commercially available and/or proven low-carbon technologies and processes that will further reduce GHG emissions within the following eligible provinces:
- Manitoba
- Saskatchewan
- Ontario
- New Brunswick
To be considered for funding under the program, applicants must:
- be legal entities incorporated or registered in Canada
- operate or have a controlling ownership stake in an eligible facility covered under the federal OBPS, located in one of the eligible provinces
- demonstrate they have the authority over the facility or asset to undertake the project
Eligible Expenses
Eligible Projects:
To be considered for funding under the program, the project must occur at an eligible facility and result in GHG emissions reductions. To be eligible, these GHG emissions reductions must be:
- material in the year 2030 and measurable over the lifetime of the project
- affecting sources of GHG emissions either within the facility’s direct control and/or from acquired sources of energy such as electricity or purchased heat/steam; and
- incremental to GHG emissions reductions obtained by other required actions, such as regulatory requirements or business-as-usual maintenance and repairs
