Fisheries and Aquaculture Clean Technology Adoption Program (FACTAP) – Fisheries and Oceans Canada (2022)
Description:
The Fisheries and Aquaculture Clean Technology Adoption Program encourages Canadian fisheries and aquaculture industries to reduce the potential environmental impacts of their activities. This is done by implementing clean technologies and measures.
The program offers funding to assist 2 types of eligible participants:
- commercial fisheries or aquaculture producers wishing to purchase and install existing, off-the-shelf clean technologies, processes and sustainable practices into their day-to-day operations;
- existing aquaculture producers wishing to pilot and test new late-stage innovative technologies, systems or processes (Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 7 to 9 only).
Comments on Funding:
Funding is up to 75% of the project eligible project costs (maximum of $1.0 million per year). The remaining 25% or more of the project’s funding can be made up of a combination of non-DFO sources but must include a minimum of 10% cash commitment by the applicant.
