Ontario Launches Emissions Performance Program (EPP)

The Emissions Performance Program, implemented by the Government of Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, is designed to assist Ontario’s largest industrial emitters in reducing their GHG emissions. It is a part of a larger environmental strategy of the province, targeting all industrial facilities except electricity generators.

Key Features of the EPP

Funding Opportunities

• Industrial emitters registered under the Emissions Performance Standards (EPS) Program can apply for financial support.
• Funding covers capital- and study-based projects, such as equipment retrofits, building upgrades, heat recovery systems, and carbon capture technologies.

Eligibility Criteria

• Participants must be part of the EPS Program.
• Projects should clearly show their ability to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Application Process

• Facilities that are interested should submit their proposals via the Transfer Ontario portal.
• The submission needs to detail the project scope, expected outcomes and measurable estimates of the decrease in emissions.

Impact and Benefits

The EPP incentivizes innovation and efficiency in Ontario’s industrial sector. Through financial incentives for emission reduction projects, the program will:

• Lower overall greenhouse gas emissions.
• Promote sustainable practices and technologies.
• Improve the competitiveness of Ontario’s industries by reducing energy costs and enhancing operational efficiency.

The launch of the Emissions Performance Program is an important step in Ontario’s commitment to environmental stewardship and climate action. Facilities are encouraged to see this as an opportunity to contribute to a greener, more sustainable future.
