For a technology to be eligible to apply to the ETV Program, it must be an environmental technology or an equipment-based environmental service, where equipment performance can be verified. The technology must offer an environmental benefit or address an environmental problem. It must also meet minimum Canadian standards and/or national guidelines for the specific technology or claim, as specified by ETV Canada, and be currently commercially available or commercially ready for full-scale application.

Technologies that do not meet this last criteria, but that are ready for demonstration at pilot-scale or as a prototype commercial unit should contact ETV Canada for advice regarding the planning of test programs to generate relevant data for subsequent claim verification.

If the technology does meet these criteria, the applicant can submit a Pre-screening Application to ETV Canada. The Pre-screening Application is reviewed by ETV Canada to assess eligibility and feasibility, and to ensure that no conflict of interest exists between the applicant and ETV Canada.

There is no charge for the assessment of the Pre-screening Application.
