"CanadaÂ’s tremendous reserves of energy will remain an important source of economic strength for a long time to come," Ms. Raitt said in a statement. "The major challenge we face today comes from identifying and implementing cleaner ways to produce and consume that energy."
CanadaÂ’s minority Conservative government is looking to burnish the countryÂ’s environmental record as it seeks an accord on greenhouse gas reduction measures with the Obama administration in the United States.
The governmentÂ’s funding is part of a $230-million set aside in 2007 to develop technologies that cut emissions from energy production. Canada is offering the projects between $3-million and $30-million each in funding.
