Low Carbon Innovation Fund

The Low Carbon Innovation Fund is a fund to help researchers, entrepreneurs and companies create and commercialize new, globally competitive, low-carbon technologies that will help Ontario meet its GHG emissions reductions targets. The Low Carbon Innovation Fund is part of Ontario's Climate Change Action Plan and is funded by proceeds from the province's carbon market.

The types of projects we will consider include:

• first time application of a GHG reduction technology that addresses a specific need
• the use of a proven technology application that has been successful in a different sector/industry, but is unproven in the proposed application
• projects demonstrating a significant improvement or enhancement to an existing GHG reduction technology solution.
• technology validation (e.g. proof-of-concept and prototype development). This stream is expected to begin accepting proposals in Fall 2017.
