A pilot project of an initiative that generates renewable energy on a brownfield site, with or without its remediation.
See Funding OpportunityStudy: Site remediation or risk management
A feasibility study of initiatives that have the potential to bring a brownfield site back into economically productive use.

See Funding OpportunityCapital project: Waste stream management
A capital project that adresses a particular type of item (e.g., diapers, polystyrene, gypsum), improves its waste stream diversion rate (by weight or volume) and offers other environmental benefits.

See Funding OpportunityPilot project: Retrofit of municipal facilities
A pilot project of retrofits that must have the potential to reduce a building’s energy use by at least 30%. A minimum of 20% must come from energy efficiency and a maximum of 10% can come from on-site, renewable energy. The 10% maximum does not apply to geothermal exchange systems. Retrofit changes must meet or exceed the national and provincial building codes (NECB 2011 or provincial derivatives).

A pilot project for an initiative that aims for net zero energy performance. That means any energy it requires should be generated through on-site, renewable or recovered power sources.
