Energy Innovation Program
…compound (VOC) emission reduction
- reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in building sector
- carbon capture, use and storage
- improvement of energy efficiency in industry
In 2021, the government of British Colombia and Shell Canada are also providing 35 million CAD each for the creation of the Centre, set to launch in 2021. The centre will focus on clean fuels, renewable natural gas, low-carbon hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization and storage. The federal government's budget will be delivered through the NRCan's Energy Innovation Programme.
The 2024 calls under the Energy Innovation Program included battery industry, early-stage carbon capture… -
Agricultural and Rural 100% Renewable Energy (RE100) Demonstration Projects
…Affairs announced plans for 100% renewable energy (RE 100) demonstration projects for rural communities. The projects will select four rural communities for solar PV installation and energy efficiency upgrades to demonstrate the feasibility of reducing energy costs and meeting energy demand through renewable energy. The projects will be conducted over a two-year period. Participating communities will receive an energy diagnostic of their community energy demands; install renewable energy projects in residential, commercial, and community spaces; and carry out building renovation upgrades aimed at increasing energy efficiency. Projects will be selected in May 2024.The total national government budget dedicated…

National Strategy for the Energy Sector
…for the Energy Sector, aimed at expanding the sector capacity, supporting non conventional renewable sources (ERNC) and promoting the sustainable ficing of the system.
The Strategy is built on six main goals, namely strengthening the non-conventional renewable sector, promoting energy efficiency, supporting a stronger and sustainable hydropower sector, a great attention to grid expansion and public transmission projects, moving towards a competitive electricity market and encouraging the regional electricity interconnections to neighbouring countries.
The strategy reiterates the target of 10% of national electricity from non-conventional renewable sources by 2024, as stated in the Non-conventional renewable energy law… -
Portugal National Energy and Climate Plan
…energy (targeting 51% share by 2030), reducing GHG emissions by 55% compared to 2005, improving energy efficiency with limits on final and primary energy consumption, and strengthening electricity interconnections. It prioritizes electrification, advanced biofuels, renewable hydrogen, and circular economy. The plan integrates climate, energy, spatial planning, and research policies to ensure a just transition, create jobs, and enhance competitiveness while reducing external energy dependency. According to the provisions of Article 14 of the Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, the National Energy and Climate Plan (PNEC) 2030 was revised in 2024. On December 20, 2024…
