Green Municipal Fund – Study: Organic Waste-to-Energy | Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM):

none

Value

Grant for up to 50%* of eligible costs Up to a maximum of $200,000

Description

We fund feasibility studies that outline the design of a proposed 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.

Your feasibility study should build on your business case exploring a system that generates energy from landfill gas, anaerobic digestion or aerobic composting with heat recovery for local organic waste, including food waste, yard waste, biosolids, or the organic fraction of construction/demolition waste, packaging, agricultural or forestry waste.

Eligible Applicants

The following organizations are eligible for GMF funding.

Canadian municipal governments (e.g., towns, cities, regions, districts, and local boards).

Municipal partners, which include:

  • private sector entities
  • municipally-owned corporations
  • regional, provincial or territorial organizations delivering municipal services
  • non-governmental organizations
  • not-for-profit organizations
  • research institutes (e.g., universities)

An Indigenous community is an eligible lead applicant if they are partnering with a Canadian municipal government on an eligible project, or if they have a shared service agreement with a Canadian municipal government related to municipal infrastructure, climate change or adaptation.

Eligible Expenses

All projects that meet the criteria on this page are eligible. Please note that we consider several factors in making a funding decision. We strive to fund the most impactful initiatives, so not all eligible projects will be approved for funding.

It is strongly recommended that you complete a business case ahead of your feasibility study.

A business case and feasibility study may be undertaken together as one project, eligible for a grant of up to a maximum of $200,000 for the project as a whole.

Deadline Date

Applications are accepted year round, though this offer will close when all funding has been allocated.
