Emerging Technologies Program

Thank you for your interest in the ETP program. The program is currently being wound down and is no longer considering new projects at this time. A similar program is being formed and should be made available in the spring of 2008. Further information is available at ecoENERGY Technology Initiative.

If you have any questions on the above, please direct them to Jacques Guérette at jguerett@nrcan.gc.ca

The Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) identifies technical barriers to increasing the energy efficiency of Canadian industries by providing up to fifty percent (50%) funding assistance. ETP's funding assistance for technical assessments, prototype development and field trials is repayable from revenue or cost savings resulting from the project.

Eligibility Criteria

Clients to-date include the pulp and paper, iron and steel, cement, oil and gas, and food and beverage sectors. All industrial sectors are eligible. For specific details concerning your eligibility, please contact us at the e-mail address below.

Description

ETP supports the development and implementation of technological solutions that contribute to a cleaner environment, improved energy efficiency and productivity, higher quality products, reduced waste, and a stronger market position for Canadian companies. In particular, the program focuses on energy-efficient technologies that offer the highest rate of return on R&D investment for Canada's industrial sector.

Industry sets the strategic direction and ETP provides coordination, bringing together interested companies and industrial stakeholders. Activities are developed, managed and funded in cooperation with industry and other partners, including gas and electric utilities, other levels of government, and equipment manufacturers.
