$ 40 million will go to companies that develop processes and technologies in priority sectors to combat climate change, particularly in the electrification of the economy, new fuels, carbon capture and plastic recycling.
Minister Fitzgibbon also announces the launch, in the coming weeks, of two calls for projects totaling nearly $ 40 million.
The first call for projects concerns the acquisition, implementation and marketing of clean equipment, processes and technologies with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by Qubec companies.
The second call for projects is for green technology development projects aimed at reducing GHG emissions in the agricultural and agri-food sectors.
