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.

Anion exchange solid polymer electrolytes and membranes for CO2 electrolyzers
947524
This proposed research is focused on the study and development of anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for high-performance CO2 electrolyzers based on polymers invented at SFU, with Ionomr Innovations Inc. acting as a pipeline to commercialization. These polymers and membranes possess high anionic conductivity and very high, state-of-the-art, chemical and mechanical stability. These solid polymer electrolytes have been demonstrated in fuel cells and water electrolyzers but in order to integrate the materials into electrolytic CO2 devices they must be chemically and physically tailored for the specific application of CO2 reduction, as both membrane and ionomer in the catalyst layer possess differentiated requirements from either of the original applications. SFU will work in partnership with Ionomr to prepare novel anion conducting polymers and to incorporate them into different support substrates to prepare robust membranes of suitable quality for piloting and commercial deployment of CO2 electrolyzer units. SFU and Ionomr will partner with NRC to integrate solid polymer electrolyte membranes into CO2 electrolytic devices in order demonstrate anion-exchange membranes that promote high efficiency, high durability CO2 electrolysis for carbon capture and valorization.
