Green Industrial Facilities Manufacturing Program (GIFMP) – Industrial Facility Track 2024 Intake

As part of Canada’s goal to meet climate change goals and reduce net carbon emissions, the government has implemented a variety of government funding programs. Among projects deemed top priority is retrofitting Canadian manufacturing facilities with new systems and infrastructure to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions. The Green Industrial Facilities Manufacturing Program (GIFMP) is one program that provides support for these business activities.  

The Green Industrial Facilities Manufacturing Program (GIFMP) provides financial assistance for the implementation of energy efficiency and energy management solutions designed to maximize energy efficiency, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, and competitiveness for the Canadian manufacturing industry by supporting the implementation of energy efficiency and energy management solutions. 

Its Industrial Facility stream supports the implementation of energy efficiency and energy management solutions for facilities that are engaged in energy consuming processes that involve the physical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products. This stream is open to receive proposals and will close by August 30, 2024.
