This Request for Information (RFI) initiates the Government of Canada’s efforts for small vessel decarbonization. It is part of the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy that sets out the Government of Canada’s sustainable development goals and targets, and outlines the implementation strategies and short-term milestones for achieving them.
This Interdepartmental Marine Fleet Low/Zero-Emission Initiative is part of the Greening Government Strategy to transition to net-zero carbon and climate-resilient operations, while also reducing environmental impacts beyond carbon, including on waste, water and biodiversity. Net-zero means reducing GHG emissions from operations to as close to zero as possible and then balancing out any remaining emissions with an equivalent amount of carbon removal.
