The ecoABC Initiative is a federal $200 million four-year program ending on March 31, 2011 that provides repayable contributions for the construction or expansion of transportation biofuel production facilities. Funding is conditional upon agricultural producer investment in the biofuel projects, and the use of agricultural feedstock to produce the biofuel. The ecoABC Initiative is delivered nationally by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. It is designed to provide an opportunity for agricultural producers to diversify their economic base and participate in the biofuels industry through equity investment/ownership in biofuels production facilities. As well, ecoABC will help achieve the federal government's goal of reaching an average of 5% renewable content in gasoline by 2010 and 2% renewable content in diesel fuel and heating oil by 2012. 1, record 1, English, - ecoAgriculture%20Biofuels%20Capital%20Initiative

L'Initiative pour un investissement écoagricole dans les biocarburants est un programme fédéral pluriannuel de 200 millions de dollars qui prendra fin le 31 mars 2011 et qui accorde des contributions remboursables pour la construction ou l'agrandissement d'installations de production de biocarburants de transport. Pour l'obtenir, les producteurs agricoles doivent s'engager à investir dans les projets de production de biocarburants et à utiliser des matières premières agricoles pour produire les biocarburants. Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada assure la mise en œuvre de l'initiative à l'échelle nationale. Celle-ci permettra aux producteurs de diversifier leur base économique et de participer à l'industrie des biocarburants en investissant des capitaux et en devenant propriétaires d'installations de production de biocarburants. De plus, l'IIEB favorisera l'atteinte de l'objectif du gouvernement fédéral, soit une moyenne de contenu de carburant renouvelable de 5 p. 100 dans l'essence d'ici 2010 et de 2 p. 100 dans le carburant diésel et l'huile de chauffage d'ici 2012. 1, record 1, French, - Initiative%20pour%20un%20investissement%20%C3%A9coagricole%20dans%20les%20biocarburants
