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.

Engineer support for pilot phase

Agreement Number:

Duration: from Nov 1, 2022 to Feb 28, 2023
Description:

Summit View is developing an advanced algae cultivation platform with the objective to commercialize and produce algae biomass at $20/kg protein to affordably feed a hungry world. The pathway to achieve this objective includes doubling the known density and yield of the algae culture, minimize energy and nutrient costs while moving to achieve economies of scale to a commercial production levels. Having achieved doubled of density and yield at bench scale there is need to demonstrate further algae cost reductions at commercial scale levels.

This proposal requests financial support to retain a technical person as we move to a larger production scale to demonstrate production cost reductions in our objective to achieve $20/kg protein.
