Corporations, foundations, governments, and individuals can contribute to the NLERF and invest in a net zero future. There are two investment pathways which are described below.
On April 3, 2024 the Newfoundland and Labrador Emissions Reduction Fund (NLERF) was registered as an eligible compliance mechanism by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) under the Clean Fuels Regulations. Regulated primary fuel suppliers in Canada may choose to contribute up to 10% of their annual carbon intensity reduction requirements to emissions reduction funds like the NLERF.
