Rebate Program for Fisheries in Nova Scotia

Up to $ 100,000 funding for a biomass heating system

Good news for all operators of commercial fishery or aquaculture businesses in Nova Scotia! The Fisheries and Aquaculture Energy Efficiency Innovation Fund, launched on June 11, 2024, provides up to $6.5 million over three years to support clean energy initiatives in the sector. A major opportunity? Biomass heating systems, eligible for funding of up to $100,000 or 50% of the total project cost.

Why consider Biomass?

Using wood pellets, wood chips or wood logs as a fuel source is not only more cost effective than burning oil or gas, it also supports the local economy and recycles residual wood in a sustainable matter. Further advantages include that Hargassner’s wood heating boilers in Canada are exempt from the carbon tax, and buyers benefit from a 30% federal investment tax credit.

You can significantly reduce emissions, lower energy costs, and contribute to a more sustainable operation by switching to a biomass heating system.

The fund supports projects that:

Install renewable energy systems
Improve energy efficiency with new technology
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Who can apply?

The program is open to companies in the commercial fishing and aquaculture sectors that want to adopt innovative, sustainable and energy-efficient practices.
