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.

Enhancing industrial liquid processing through intelligent pipeline mixing (SPL-MIX)
948227
In-line mixing is proposed as a method to improve efficiency for many industrial mixing processes. Currently used on a limited scale, this project aims to advance the understanding of in-line mixing by characterizing in-line measurement methods.

Converting carbon solutions into value-added chemicals using a bicarbonate electrolyzer
951765
CO2 electrolysis is a promising means by which to: 1) utilize atmospheric waste CO2; and 2) store intermittent renewable energy by using electricity to convert captured CO2 into valuable fuels and chemicals. A key challenge associated with commercializing such technologies is that CO2 electrolyzers currently under development use a pure CO2 feedstock, which requires CO2 isolation from bicarbonate or carbonate capture solutions. This process is both energy-intensive and expensive, which impedes future commercialization. UBC’s approach to overcoming this challenge is to develop a bicarbonate electrolyzer that is capable of reducing aqueous bicarbonate solutions, thereby circumventing the need for pure CO2 feedstocks. Through the project described herein, the Berlinguette group (UBC), the NRC, and Carbon Engineering will collaborate to further materials development for bicarbonate electrolyzers, construct a model to predict champion material properties, build a test station with which to test electrolyzers at industrially-relevant conditions, and perform techno-economic and life-cycle assessments.
