Over $32.6 million from the provincial government will help commercialize British Columbia’s clean, efficient energy technologies and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, benefitting the environment while creating jobs in over 30 B.C. communities.
New clean energy investments will come from two sources: over $22.6 million from the Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) Fund and $10 million to support the production of liquid biofuels with demonstrated low greenhouse gas emissions. The projects have a combined value of almost $200 million.
