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.

Biocatalytic Approach to Convert Biomass Into Adipic Acid

Agreement Number:

1010102

Duration: from Jul 1, 2023 to Nov 30, 2024
Description:

Adipic acid is the main building block of high-performance polymer Nylon 6,6 ($30 billion market), globally, chemical production of adipic acid from oil releases over 60 million tons/year of greenhouse gases (N2O+CO2). At OzoneBio, our goal is to produce bio-adipic acid using wood/agricultural waste-derived feedstocks as the main raw material. In our workflow, we utilize the “Zombie cell” bio-catalysis to transform wood-derived aromatics into adipic acid. The “Zombie cell” approach allows the transformation of challenging renewable feedstocks to adipic acid avoiding the limitations associated with live cell fermentation and high CAPEX for the facilities.
