If they are lowering emissions and are doing so in a substantial way, we will back it. I've made that very clear. This is all singularly about lowering emissions. The emissions reduction fund is something that I am actually quite proud of. We put it in place during the pandemic. It is a way to create jobs, to maintain the workers and also to facilitate economic activity at a time when this industry was hurting crucially, and it is all about lowering emissions.
Those projects are under way right now, with 16 in my province, in the Newfoundland offshore. One is with Atlantic Towing Ltd., which has demonstrated battery and electric technologies in offshore supply vessels. We have two projects on the Hibernia platform. One is on flare reduction technology, and the second is on building a prototype digital power generation system to optimize platform energy use. We're also working with Planetary Hydrogen to research whether their CCUS technology can be applied to offshore facilities. That's just for the offshore.
For the onshore, we have 40 projects under way in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia: projects that will eliminate methane emissions equivalent to 3.1 megatonnes of carbon dioxide. That's 674,000 cars off the road. Tundra Oil & Gas is teaming up with Steel Reef infrastructure on a project that straddles the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border and is to capture methane emissions, because emissions know no borders.
These are real projects with real jobs for workers and for lowering emissions—that is our singular focus.
