Grants and Contributions

This project is mostly related to increased knowledge and collaboration with stakeholders and/or international organizations.

This project is mostly related to technology research and development.

This project advances the Government of Canada commitment to plant an additional two billion new trees over the next 10 years as part of a broader approach to nature-based climate solutions.

The intermittency of renewable energy sources, the disruption of vastly-deployed fossil fuel based infrastructures and value chains, the heavy reliance on rare and/or conflict elements, closing the loop on carbon, the drastic process intensification required for distributed power generation, and the need for alternative energy-dense carbon-free fuels for long-haul transportation, are only a few challenges in key sectors of the economy. Electric plasma sources and processes offer novel and scalable avenues for the transition, as they offer drastically greener paths to material and energy resource extraction, synthesis, conversion, recycling and utilization. Plasma-catalytic processes, which combine the unique processing conditions of the plasma with the accelerated chemical kinetics attributable to the catalyst, offer great promises to displace large-scale industrial processes, such as ammonia synthesis, nitrogen fixation and syngas production, and to introduce novel processes. The project will build upon NRC’s expertise to synthesize nanocatalyst supports, namely plasma-synthesized boron nitride nanotubes, and PPL’s expertise in plasma-catalysis, to synthesize novel BNNT-based catalysts and develop scalable plasma sources and processes, specifically aimed at ammonia synthesis and dry reforming of methane.

This project promotes greater awareness among Canadians of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

The purpose of this agreement is to increase awareness, availability and use of lower carbon vehicles and fuels in Canada by supporting the installation of electric vehicle charger tecnhology in Ontario and Quebec.

The objective is to promote greater awareness of clean fuels and clean fuels technologies across all industries, commercial applications, and the general public in Canada.

The contribution supports the active engagement and participation of the Cree Nation Government and coastal Cree communities of Eeyou Istchee in determining the feasibility of establishing a national marine conservation area in eastern James Bay. It enables the Cree Nation Government to hire personnel (such as project coordinator, community liaison), to support travel to and undertake necessary community consultations in partnership with Parks Canada, to participate in project steering committee meetings with Parks Canada, and to subcontract the assembly, mapping and review of traditional Cree knowledge. As an important part of Cree culture and knowledge, Cree language will be used, besides English and French, in some of the communication materials and in consultations.
