Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Design of Moving Bed Heat Exchanger (MBHE) with Off-Set Plate Configurations
1027973
Solex's parallel plate heat exchangers offer the opportunity to utilize unique "plate offsetting" configurations for enhanced performance. This project will validate and optimize these "plate offsetting" configurations to improve heat transfer and reduce equipment footprint. This will lead to increased efficiency, lower material costs, and broader market applicability, including easier accommodation at brownfield sites. Testing will occur at bench, pilot, and industrial scales. Collaboration with an industrial partner will culminate in on-site validation. This staged approach will de-risk deployment and enable potential first-of-kind purchase orders.
