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.

Vat Leaching Optimization Study
984012
The goal is to research, develop and operate a new and innovative process focused on the production of hydrogen and the reduction of atmospheric CO2 via ocean alkalinity enhancement.
The Planetary Hydrogen OAC (Ocean Air Capture) technology allows for simultaneous alkalinity and sulfuric acid production in the form of diluted solutions. It is envisaged that these reagents could be used for commonly applied hydrometallurgical operations such as leaching and precipitation, respectively.
The project tests a low-cost, low-energy method for extraction of valuable metals from mine tailings for the purposes of industrial decarbonization, legacy mine site remediation and climate change mitigation.
