New Electric Vehicle Chargers Coming to Quebec and New Brunswick

 The Government of Canada remains committed to building a clean energy future to strengthen the economy, create good, middle-class jobs and support the natural resource sectors. This will be more important than ever as we reopen the economy and plan our recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.

The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Member of Parliament for Laurier–Sainte-Marie, on behalf of the Honourable Seamus O'Regan, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources, today announced a $5-million investment in Quebec and New Brunswick for the installation of 100 electric vehicle (EV) fast chargers as part of the government's commitment to build a national network of EV charging stations.

The funding will enable the Montreal -based association of Earth Day Canada to build and locate EV chargers, which will be operational by 2021, at 50 IGA grocery stores throughout the two provinces.

This investment will help encourage increased adoption of zero-emission vehicles by providing residents with more options to charge their vehicles where they live, work and play.

Federal funding is provided through Natural Resources Canada's Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program , which is a part of the government's ambitious target to have all new passenger vehicles sold in Canada be zero-emission vehicles by 2040.

The Government of Canada has provided over $600 million to help make EVs more affordable and to support the establishment of a coast-to-coast network of fast chargers as well as charging in more localized areas, such as retail stores, apartment buildings, on-street and workplaces.

This investment also includes establishing hydrogen stations in metropolitan centres. The infrastructure resulting from these investments will ensure that people can drive and charge their vehicles across Canada . Funding will also support the demonstration of next-generation charging technologies as well as the development of enabling codes and standards.

The government continues to support green infrastructure projects that will create good jobs, advance Canada's green future and help us achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Quotes

"We are providing greener options for Canadians to drive where they want to go. This is how we will get to net zero by 2050 and create a future where the vehicles we drive don't harm the environment we cherish.

Seamus O'Regan
  Canada's Minister of Natural Resources

"Electric vehicles play a key role in building a clean energy future, and today's announcement is another step in this direction. Our government is thrilled to be working on advancing green infrastructure projects, with partners like Earth Day Canada, who are helping bring us closer to our goal: a zero-emission transportation sector."

Steven Guilbeault
  Minister of Canadian Heritage and Member of Parliament for Laurier–Sainte-Marie

"Earth Day Canada thanks Ministers Seamus O'Regan and Steven Guilbeault , as well as Natural Resources Canada, for their support for the RechargÉco program. The financial support from the Government of Canada , combined with the contribution of the Fonds Éco IGA and participating IGA merchants, allows the deployment of an initiative that will facilitate Canadians' transition to electromobility in a time of climate emergency."

Thomas Mulcair
  Chairman of the Board of Directors of Earth Day Canada

"IGA merchants have been committed to the environment for many years. Twelve years ago we established the Fonds Éco IGA,  and we've provided more than $12 million for environmental projects in all the regions of the province of Quebec. Contributing to the installation of charging stations in our supermarket parking lots is another way to do our share while simplifying our customers' lives."

Luc Daigle
  President of IGA extra Daigle food markets

ASX Oil and Gas Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2025

Oil and gas are key energy fuels, and ASX-listed Australian oil and gas companies could benefit from their price moves.

For the most part, 2024 was a volatile year for both the oil and gas markets. In the first half of the year, oil prices were riding an uptrend, spurred on by rising tensions in the Middle East amid tightening supply.

However, after prices peaked at US$91.70 per barrel in early April, demand-side challenges weighed oil down, with levels sinking to US$77 in early June. In the second half of the year, oil prices took a hit as global economic uncertainties continued to grow.

By September 10, oil fell to a year-to-date low of US$69.09 as investors anticipated interest rate cuts in the US and the Israel-Hamas war continued to threaten supply chains. Weakness in demand from China also suppressed oil prices. By late December, prices were holding in the US$72.40 range.

Energizing the Future: How Green Hydrogen is Shaping Sustainable Investments

As the world continues to face the challenges of and find solutions to climate change, the hydrogen economy is emerging as a beacon of hope in the area of sustainable energy. This transformative shift is not just reshaping industries; it's opening up exciting avenues for investors keen on aligning their portfolios with a greener future.

Hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen, is taking center stage in the global push towards decarbonization. Unlike its counterparts — blue and grey hydrogen — green hydrogen is produced using renewable energy sources, resulting in zero carbon emissions. This clean energy carrier is poised to play a crucial role in sectors traditionally difficult to decarbonize, such as heavy industry and long-haul transportation.

The numbers speak volumes about hydrogen's potential. Market projections paint an optimistic picture, with the global hydrogen generation market expected to surge from $158.8 billion in 2023 to a staggering $257.9 billion by 2028. More impressively, the green hydrogen market alone could surpass $334.6 billion by 2032. These figures underscore a seismic shift in energy paradigms, with clean hydrogen potentially capturing up to 30 percent of the market share by 2030, up from less than 1 percent today.

Alvopetro Energy Ltd.'s vision is to become a leading independent upstream and midstream operator in Brazil .

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

All amounts contained in this new release are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated and all tabular amounts are in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise noted.

Abbreviations:

boepd

=   barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") per day

bopd

=   barrels of oil and/or natural gas liquids (condensate) per day

e 3 m 3 /d

=   thousand cubic metre per day

m 3

=   cubic metre

m 3 /d

=   cubic metre per day

Mcf

=   thousand cubic feet

Mcfpd

=   thousand cubic feet per day

MMcfpd

=   million cubic feet per day

NGLs

=   natural gas liquids

BOE Disclosure . The term barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel (6Mcf/bbl) of natural gas to barrels of oil equivalence is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All boe conversions in this news release are derived from converting gas to oil in the ratio mix of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil.

Contracted firm volumes .   The 2025 contracted daily firm volumes of 400 e 3 m 3 /d (before any provisions for take or pay allowances) represents contracted volumes based on contract referenced natural gas heating value. Note that Alvopetro's reported natural gas sales volumes are prior to any adjustments for heating value of Alvopetro natural gas. Alvopetro's natural gas is approximately 7.8%   higher than the contract reference heating value. Therefore, to satisfy the contractual firm deliveries Alvopetro would be required to deliver approximately 371e 3 m 3 /d (13.1MMcfpd).
