        Canada Green Buildings Strategy

        …the 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan. Released in July 2024, the Strategy sets out the Government’s vision and steps to address the twin challenges of affordability and climate change, towards more energy efficient, affordable and greener homes and buildings. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, helping lower energy bills in the residential buildings, and promoting more efficiency in the commercial, institutional, and industrial buildings, are key areas of the strategy. Some initiatives which fall under the strategy include the Canada Greener Homes Affordability program, the National Approach to Home Labelling, and the modernization of tools such as the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager.

        Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle Fund

        The $27.75 million Low Emissions Heavy Vehicle Fund (LEHVF) grant scheme is aimed to support ‘first movers’ by addressing the purchase price barrier to the adoption of ZEHVs in New Zealand. The fund will be administered by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), with the objectives to: a.    Continue to build the transport sector’s confidence to invest in the adoption of zero emission trucks, non-public transport buses and heavy vans beyond demonstration, by supporting integration of zero emissions vehicles into their fleets. b.    Gather insights into other operational barriers to widespread uptake and commercialisation, such as…

        Ma prime Rénov

        In the framework of its Economic and Social Resilience Plan, the French government enacted an enlargement of "Ma prime Rénov", a revenue-based subsidy scheme aimed at boosting home retrofits, from mid-April 2022 to the end of the year. The scheme was later extended in 2023, and support for the installation of high-efficiency gas-based heating systems was then scrapped. In 2024, the scheme was further revised to better target low-revenue households and incentivize both one-off energy-efficient ameliorations (such as boiler upgrades) and more energy-efficient renovations combining several ameliorations.
