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.

A Novel Aero-Engine Architecture for Taking Full Advantage of Hydrogen as the Fuel
1034368
The aviation industry is committed to decarbonisation. Among the options, hydrogen (H2) holds great promise for long-haul airliners. Within the H2 portfolio, H2 fuel cells may not meet the power-density requirements for long?haul applications in the near future, which leaves H2-fueled gas turbines as the one viable technical pathway. H2 as an aviation fuel is fundamentally different from kerosene-based jet fuels and brings great new potentials: it is stable at the elevated temperatures of engine hot-gas path components (combustor liners and turbine blades). In addition, H2 needs to be stored either as a cryogenic liquid or as a cryo?compressed gas. The endothermic process of vaporizing or pre-warming H2 from its storage states can be perfectly matched with demanding cooling requirements of aero-engines. To take full advantage of the new fuel, this collaboration plans to develop a novel engine architecture where H2 is also used as engine coolant that eliminates the extra weight and energy requirements of vaporizers and/or
multiple heat exchangers for pre-conditioning the fuel. Meanwhile, the need for diverting compressor discharge air for cooling can be greatly reduced or fully eliminated, resulting in 10-15% engine efficiency improvements over kerosene?fueled legacy engines. The end goal of this undertaking is to have a proof-of?concept combustor demonstrator that pre-heats low-temperature H2, needs little or no additional cooling air, and can combust H2 cleanly and efficiently by taking advantages of new additive manufacturing capabilities in both high-temperature superalloys and ceramics.
