In the Budget 2000, the Government of Canada is providing $100 million to establish the Sustainable Development Technology Fund, which will be administered by a third-party foundation. The fund will stimulate the development and demonstration of environmental technologies, particularly those aimed at reducing greenhouse gases(GHG) emissions, such as fuel cells and new construction technologies, as well as improving air quality, such as clean coal technologies. Funding would be available to the private sector, research centres and other institutes. The Sustainable Development Technology Fund will encourage innovation by helping companies develop new technologies and bring them to market. The Fund will complement other federal programs, build on efforts to engage external partners and promote the efficient use of resources and technologies. 1, record 2, English, - Sustainable%20Development%20Technology%20Fund

Dans le Budget 2000, le gouvernement du Canada affecte 100 millions de dollars à l'établissement du Fonds d'appui technologique au développement durable, qui sera administré par une fondation indépendante. Ce fonds stimulera la mise au point et la démonstration de nouvelles technologies environnementales, particulièrement celles qui réduisent les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES), comme les piles à combustible et les nouvelles technologies de construction, et qui améliorent la qualité de l'air, comme les technologies d'épuration du charbon. Du financement sera consenti au secteur privé, à des centres de recherche et à d'autres instituts. Le Fonds d'appui technologique au développement durable encouragera l'innovation en aidant les entreprises à mettre au point de nouvelles technologies et à les commercialiser. Le Fonds viendra compléter d'autres programmes fédéraux et appuyer les efforts déployés pour engager les partenaires externes et promouvoir l'utilisation efficace des ressources et des technologies. 1, record 2, French, - Fonds%20d%27appui%20technologique%20au%20d%C3%A9veloppement%20durable
