    Agricultural Clean Technology Program

    Grants for Canadian farmers and agri-businesses to adopt energy-efficient tech.

    Available Amount

    Up to $2,000,000

    Start Date

    Ongoing

    End Date

    Varies by Intake

    Eligibility

    Eligible Upgrades & Scope

    Clean energyPrecision agricultureEfficient grain dryersHeat recovery

    Greening the Canadian Farm

    The Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) Program provides non-repayable contributions to help farmers reduce their carbon footprint. By investing in clean technology, farms can lower their energy costs and improve long-term sustainability.

    Funding Streams

    1. Adoption Stream: Prioitizes the purchase and installation of commercially available technologies (e.g., high-efficiency grain dryers, solar panels).
    2. Research and Innovation: Supports the development of new clean technologies for the agri-sector.

    Note: Projects can receive between $25,000 and $2,000,000 in funding, typically covering up to 40% of the project's eligible costs.
