Green Energy Credits from Canada

This is an old assessment -- but this is what I was referring to. It seems to me that ABWTQ may have received an additional 'smaller' grant for one of their facilities -- but I could be mistaken.

Emailjanum - may have a thought on this based on his most recent research.

Eligible companies will now have access to funding under the $1 billion program to invest in capital projects that improve their environmental performance. These companies will receive funding for eligible capital projects based on an allocation of $0.16/litre of black liquor produced until the funding is fully allotted.

To determine their eligibility for black liquor credits, companies were asked to register with the program and report on their black liquor production by September 18, 2009. At the close of this registration period, the government verified production reports prepared by companies and calculated the amount of credits to be allocated to eligible companies.

It is expected that firms will begin to receive funding for projects in late 2009 or early 2010. Eligible firms can invest their credits in any of their pulp and paper facilities across Canada.

Qualified companies must now submit project proposals for their facilities. Each project will be subject to a federal environmental assessment. In addition, contribution agreements will be negotiated for projects under the Program.

More details about the program and its eligibility requirements are available at http://cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/subsite/pulp-paper-green-transformation
