Alberta Carbon Capture Incentive Program

The Alberta Carbon Capture Incentive Program (ACCIP) will support and accelerate the development of new carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) infrastructure by providing incentives for facilities to incorporate this technology into their operations. ACCIP will help hard-to-abate industries by providing a grant of 12 per cent for new eligible CCUS capital costs.

Alberta petrochemical incentive program

The Alberta Petrochemicals Incentive Program (APIP) is designed to enhance certainty and flexibility for investors and cut red tape for petrochemical projects. Grants worth 12% of a project’s eligible capital costs will be issued to companies after projects are operational. Grants allow companies to account for the full value of the incentive provided when calculating their project’s return on investment.

Heartland Incentive Program

The Heartland Incentive Program is a unique incentive program built to encourage industrial development in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. This program offers incentives to new projects or expansions within the energy value chain. The program provides direct municipal tax incentives valued between 1 – 2.5% of the project’s total capital cost depending on the project’s qualities and location.

SIF can provide flexible supports for strategic projects in Business Innovation and Growth as well as Collaborations and Networks. Early engagement is recommended with the SIF administration team to ensure project alignment and application quality.
