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.

Developing Tank Vent Oxidation Unit with Cloud Reporting

Agreement Number:

1031584

Duration: from May 15, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

Development of an oxidizer for use on storage tanks which vent methane and other VOC’s to the environment. The device is highly efficient, easy to maintain, and able to quantify and report its efficiency, totalized methane converted, and other operational data points to a cloud-based dashboard. The oxidizer can be maintained in the field to ensure high levels of conversion efficiency are realized continuously. The oxidizer product commercialization will open the pathway for development of a catalytic heater with live efficiency reporting and automation as well as an oxidizer with methane slip quantification to be used on natural gas engines.

Phase I: Transportation Engine Migration to Everest Platform

Agreement Number:

1031230

Duration: from May 15, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

Transportation Engine project, Egistix is enhancing its Everest platform to meet the sustainable trading needs of the biofuels, reclamation and other sectors. The Transportation Engine project is the first phase, focusing on migrating the transportation engine in our legacy Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) system to the Everest platform. It utilizes artificial intelligence to modify the underlying codebase to be compatible with Saas. By replacing carbon-intensive manual processes with scalable, cloud-based compliance tracking and real-time emissions reporting tools, it enables a faster transition to sustainable commodity trading.

Pilot optimization - Build, load and test a new stack

Agreement Number:

1031038

Duration: from May 15, 2025 to Mar 22, 2026
Description:

SeeO2 Energy Inc., a Calgary-based company, pioneering solutions to transform greenhouse gases into valuable clean fuels and chemicals. Our technology leverages reversible solid oxide fuel cell (RSOFC) technology to perform efficient high temperature electrolysis. An RSOFC consists of an electrolyte sandwiched between electrodes which are then coupled to an interconnect using a contact paste material (CPM). The system uses electricity and heat to convert CO2 and/or H2O to produce H2, CO or syngas (H2 + CO). These products are critical for industries like steel manufacturing, green plastics, utilities, energy companies and chemical industries.

Biocatalytic Approach to Convert Biomass Into Adipic Acid

Agreement Number:

1030891

Duration: from May 15, 2025 to Jan 27, 2026
Description:

OzoneBio is at the forefront of developing sustainable materials through an innovative, emission-free process for producing bio-adipic acid, a key monomer in the production of Nylon 66. This project addresses the urgent global need to replace traditional petroleum-based polymers with bio-based alternatives that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Leveraging wood waste, a renewable resource, OzoneBio’s technology eliminates nitrous oxide emissions, which are 300 times more potent than CO2. The company’s goal is to provide a scalable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution to industries such as textiles, automotive, and construction.
