加拿大投资扩建天然气加气网络

据4月6日Oil Monster消息：加拿大温尼伯南中心议会成员吉姆·卡尔代表加拿大自然资源部部长西穆斯·奥雷根宣布向Envoy Energy投资300万美元，用于建设三个天然气站。

新加气站分别位于艾伯塔省雷德克里夫市、萨斯喀彻温省斯威夫特海流市和马尼托巴省普劳达市，将包括现场储存和易于使用的自助机，为重型卡车司机在横贯加拿大高速公路加油时提供所需的所有功能。

资金是由加拿大自然资源公司的电动汽车和替代燃料基础设施部署提供的，该项目正在投资在关键运输路线上建立天然气加气站，为运输公司提供更清洁的货物运输选择。这项投资将政府资助的主要货运走廊沿线的天然气站数量扩大到22个。

奥雷根说：“天然气是交通运输行业的一种可持续且经济的选择，这项投资有助于加拿大卡车车队采用更清洁的燃料来源，而不会影响其日常效率，同时支持我们实现净零未来的目标。”

政府已投资超过6亿美元，使电动汽车和替代燃料基础设施更加便捷。这包括帮助建立一个海岸到海岸的快速充电网络，并在当地安装充电器。这项投资将支持主要货运走廊沿线的天然气加气站，大城市中心的氢能站、下一代充电技术的示范以及支持性法规和标准的制定。政府提供高达5000美元的激励措施，以提高加拿大对电动汽车的购买力，并为购买电动汽车的企业提供全额税收减免。

这些举措是加拿大气候计划“健康环境和健康经济”的一部分，该计划提议进一步加速零排放汽车(ZEV)的使用，为此将额外拨款1.5亿美元用于基础设施建设，并为加拿大人额外拨款2.87亿美元用于购买激励措施。

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.
