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.

SOUTHGATE RENEWABLES RECYCLING PROJECT
CFF-I-0028
The Proponent will construct an anaerobic digestion (AD) facility in Dundalk, Ontario, that will recycle approximately 73,000 tonnes of primarily source-separated organics (SSO) annually from the "green bin" programs of municipalities throughout Ontario, amongst other waste streams. The SSOs will be converted into biogas and digestate through the AD process. The biogas generated will be upgraded to renewable natural gas (RNG) and injected into the local natural gas distribution pipeline network through the Enbridge injection station.

SALISH ELEMENTS XAXLI'P GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
CFF-I-0026
The Proponent will conduct a feasibility study and a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the construction of a new 25 MW green hydrogen production facility with the potential to produce 10,000kg/day of green hydrogen. The hydrogen will be produced from electrolysis using the BC Power grid, liquefied and stored on site before being shipped to a refueling station. The goal is to use the hydrogen for heavy duty transport in the British Columbia industrial sector
