據(jù)4月6日Oil Monster消息：加拿大溫尼伯南中心議會成員吉姆·卡爾代表加拿大自然資源部部長西穆斯·奧雷根宣布向Envoy Energy投資300萬美元，用于建設(shè)三個天然氣站。

新加氣站分別位于艾伯塔省雷德克里夫市、薩斯喀徹溫省斯威夫特海流市和馬尼托巴省普勞達(dá)市，將包括現(xiàn)場儲存和易于使用的自助機，為重型卡車司機在橫貫加拿大高速公路加油時提供所需的所有功能。

資金是由加拿大自然資源公司的電動汽車和替代燃料基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施部署提供的，該項目正在投資在關(guān)鍵運輸路線上建立天然氣加氣站，為運輸公司提供更清潔的貨物運輸選擇。這項投資將政府資助的主要貨運走廊沿線的天然氣站數(shù)量擴(kuò)大到22個。

奧雷根說：“天然氣是交通運輸行業(yè)的一種可持續(xù)且經(jīng)濟(jì)的選擇，這項投資有助于加拿大卡車車隊采用更清潔的燃料來源，而不會影響其日常效率，同時支持我們實現(xiàn)凈零未來的目標(biāo)。”

政府已投資超過6億美元，使電動汽車和替代燃料基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施更加便捷。這包括幫助建立一個海岸到海岸的快速充電網(wǎng)絡(luò)，并在當(dāng)?shù)匕惭b充電器。這項投資將支持主要貨運走廊沿線的天然氣加氣站，大城市中心的氫能站、下一代充電技術(shù)的示范以及支持性法規(guī)和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的制定。政府提供高達(dá)5000美元的激勵措施，以提高加拿大對電動汽車的購買力，并為購買電動汽車的企業(yè)提供全額稅收減免。

這些舉措是加拿大氣候計劃“健康環(huán)境和健康經(jīng)濟(jì)”的一部分，該計劃提議進(jìn)一步加速零排放汽車(ZEV)的使用，為此將額外撥款1.5億美元用于基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)，并為加拿大人額外撥款2.87億美元用于購買激勵措施。

Canada Invests in Expansion of Natural Gas Refueling Network

Jim Carr, a member of the Canadian Parliament for Winnipeg South Center, on behalf of Seamus O’Regan Jr., Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, has unveiled a $3 million investment in Envoy Energy for the installation of three natural gas stations.

The new stations – which are located at existing gas stops in Redcliff, Alberta; Swift Current, Saskatchewan; and Prawda, Manitoba – will include on-site storage and easy-to-use dispensers providing all the features heavy-duty truck drivers need when refueling along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Funding is provided through Natural Resources Canada’s Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment, which is investing to establish natural gas refueling stations along key transportation routes – providing transport companies with cleaner options to move their goods. The investment expands the number of natural gas stations along key freight corridors funded by the government to 22.

“Natural gas is a sustainable and economical option for the transportation sector,” says O’Regan. “This investment is helping Canadian trucking fleets adopt cleaner fuel sources without compromising their day-to-day efficiency while supporting our goal of a net-zero future.”

The government has invested over $600 million to make electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative fuel infrastructure more accessible. This includes helping establish a coast-to-coast network of fast chargers and installing chargers in localized areas. This investment supports natural gas refueling stations along key freight corridors, hydrogen stations in metropolitan centers, the demonstration of next-generation charging technologies, and the development of enabling codes and standards. The government provides incentives of up to $5,000 to increase affordability for Canadian consumers to buy EVs and full tax write-offs for businesses purchasing them.

The initiatives are part of Canada’s climate plan, A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy, which proposes to further accelerate zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption through an additional $150 million for infrastructure and an additional $287 million for purchasing incentives for Canadians.
