Description

We offer combined loan and grant funding to support municipalities and their partners in constructing, commissioning and initiating operation of an organic waste-to-energy system. This funding helps Canadian cities and communities produce and utilize local sources of energy and generate additional valuable products such as digestate and fertilizers, ultimately resulting in a net GHG emission reduction.
