NRCAN Launches Emissions Reductions Fund to Help Oil and Gas Companies Reduce Methane Emissions

In other federal news, Minister of Natural Resources, Hon. Seamus O’Regan, announced today the launch of the $750 million fund for oil and gas companies to reduce methane emissions. The funds were initially announced in April 2020 and will provide primarily repayable funding to onshore and offshore oil and gas firms to support their investments to adopt greener technologies.

Funds will be delivered under two programs: a $675 million onshore program stream which opened for applications as of today, and a $75 million offshore program stream, which will open for application on November 9th. Applications must be led by upstream and midstream oil and/or gas sector companies with projects to reduce or eliminate routine venting of methane rich natural gas from conventional, tight and shale oil and gas operations.
