Majority of the funds are being paid by the company themselves, and the goal of the carbon tax and the like is to basically rebate investments like this to incentivize this kind of change, so I see no major issues. They are taxed on carbon emissions, and then are given money to change to emit less, makes sense as a tax and rebate system.
