In response to strong member interest, the CBA is pleased to provide a simplified overview of what may be eligible under the 30% Clean Tech ITC which now includes eligibility for certain biogas to electricity equipment. Check out our latest Insights Article to learn about eligible equipment and CBA’s continued advocacy. Please keep in mind that this overview is intended as a high-level summary only and should not be considered tax advice.
Canadian clean energy company Hydron Energy has launched a renewable natural gas (RNG) platform project at the Bailey Landfill in Chilliwack, British Columbia, aimed at validating its proprietary biogas upgrading system for landfill gas operation. The project centres on Hydron Energy’s INTRUPTor system, which uses a novel metal organic framework (MOF) to remove both nitrogen and carbon dioxide from biogas streams simultaneously at ambient pressure.
On April 22nd, the Fuel Innovation Fund launched the Future Fuels Challenge, a $50 million funding initiative designed to accelerate the development of technologies that lower the carbon intensity of transportation fuels across Canada. The Challenge is the first annual competitive funding call under the Fund. It will provide regulated fuel suppliers, industry innovators, and technology developers with an opportunity to advance projects that deliver measurable greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions in alignment with Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations. Successful applicants may request between $1 million and $10 million per project, with funding covering up to 50 per cent of eligible expenses. Expressions of interest are due June 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. MDT.

On January 15, the CBA submitted comments to ECCC’s Clean Fuel Regulation Discussion Paper to help shape draft amendments that increase opportunities for Canadian biogas & RNG producers. Our feedback highlights the need to explicitly support domestic production and ensure gaseous credits are fairly valued in the market. The CBA supports measures such as a credit multiplier for Canadian biogas & RNG and the removal of the 10% limit on domestic gaseous credits, helping Canadian producers remain competitive. We thank our members for their input, which continues to guide our advocacy on their behalf.
