British Columbia’s Project Feasibility Studies Program
Receive up to 75% in Feasibility Study Funding.
Preliminary studies are supported by the British Columbia’s Project Feasibility Studies Program call to provide clarity and confidence to potential projects seeking funding through the Emissions Performance or Innovation Accelerator RFPs.
This program supports the completion of feasibility studies related to emission-reducing projects for B.C. Reporting Operations. A future emission reduction project in British Columbia could benefit from the studies by removing barriers, reducing risks, clarifying costs, and/or supporting a business case.

Eligible Activities
The Study must investigate the feasibility and/or advance the concept of a potential project that would be eligible under one of the following funding streams:
- Emissions Performance (EP) Projects – Projects must reduce GHG emissions in B.C. that are attributable to or associated with reporting operations, using commercially available technologies that reduce emissions intensity.
- Innovation Accelerator (IA) Projects – Projects must have the potential to reduce emissions in B.C. as a direct result of (a) the use of the project’s technology or process at the reporting operations associated with the project and/or (b) the commercial adoption of the Project’s technology or process.
Studies that investigate the feasibility and/or advance the concept of Projects that may reduce emissions of either combustion or non-combustion emissions are eligible.
