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.

Scalable plasmonic catalysts for CO2 reduction
947415
Our reliance on fossil fuels as an energy source has now produced unsustainable levels of CO2 in the atmosphere with catastrophic environmental consequences. To address this issue, technologies are being developed to transform CO2 from the atmosphere into useful fuels. Major progress was recently achieved with the development of plasmon-enhanced electrocatalysts, where visible light is used to drive and tune the electrocatalytic process, thus improving the transformation of CO2 into fuels. The recipient proposes a new technology where new fabrications methods using laser machining, high-speed replication processes, and chemical nanoparticles synthesis, are used to create catalysts that are cheap and active under visible light illumination. The project will involve state-of-the art characterization techniques, experiments, and simulations, to optimize these new catalyst materials for the transformation of CO2 into useful fuels.
