…equipment not produced locally;
(4) accelerated depreciation of up to 20% per year for renewable energy investments.
The law mandates the harmonization of environmental requirements, the development of environmental impact assessment procedures for renewable energy projects, and the establishment of a rapid assessment cycle for renewable energy projects.
It aims for the substitution of diesel generation in isolated areas with renewable energy, either through exclusive concessions or through other incentives. It creates a dedicated fund for Renewable Energy and Energy efficiency (FENOGE) to provide soft loans and other forms of support for energy access and productive activities, mainly with renewable… -

Canada's Action on Climate Change
…More stringent GHG standards are being developed for cars and light duty trucks (2017-2025 model years). A requirement is also in place (as of December 2010) for an average of 5% renewable fuel content in gasoline and, as of July 2011, 2% renewable fuel content for diesel and heating oil. Standards are also being developed to reduce GHG emissions from new on-road heavy-duty vehicles of the 2014 and later model years; proposed regulations were published in April 2012. The Government of Canada also published proposed regulations to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired electricity generation in…

Special rules also apply to energy-intensive industries and for diesel use in land-based industries. The carbon dioxide tax is levied based on the carbon content of all fuels (the emitted quantities of carbon dioxide), except for biofuels and peat.Electricity consumption is also taxed. The energy tax on electricity used in industrial processes and some other businesses in 2014 equals the minimum level allowed in the European Energy Tax Directive (2003/96/EC); EUR 0.5 MWh…

For example, because some versions of vehicles are only available in certain states, the Green Vehicle Guide allows consumers to search by state. Recently, additional content was added such that clean diesel vehicles can be found in the listing for California and other states that have adopted Californias stringent emissions standards. As of 2013, the Green Vehicle Guide is active, but directs visitors to the fueleconomy.gov website for information on new cars.
