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.

300 t/y AdvEn Super Activated Carbon Commercial Demonstration Plant
1029445
AdvEn has developed a proprietary recipe and production process for high-performance activated carbon trademarked “ASAC” (AdvEn Super Activated Carbon). It has record-breaking performance characteristics coupled with competitive cost efficiency, compared to current leading commercial products. It has many applications, the immediate of which is to build energy storage device such as supercapacitors (SCs). In 2011, Elon Musk predicted that “SCs, not batteries, would be the breakthrough for EVs (Electric Vehicles)”. Our pilot plant has been operational for 4 years, producing ASAC at an equivalent annual capacity of 5 to 10 tons, from asphaltenes and refinery residues (LC Finer Bottom – by-products from bitumen’s partial upgrading), agricultural wastes, plastic wastes and even raw bitumen. In the current project, AdvEn seeks government support to build its first commercial demo plant with a capacity of 300 tons/year.The ASAC technology is the most sustainable method to produce high end AC. It has a greatly reduced GHG footprint and has much lower overall energy intensity. Specifically the benefits results from: (1) no direct CO2 emission; (2) reduced production temperatures and elimination of highly hazardous strong acids/base that are typically used in all other AC manufacturing processes today; (3) reduced pollutant generation and GHG emission by capturing and utilizing hydrocarbon by-products/residues, scrubbing residual emissions and recycling process chemicals and water.

Pilot Production of Self-Supported Dry Electrode Film for Supercapacitors and Lithium-ion Batteries
995846
This project aims to achieve pilot production of the electrodes for both supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using a patent-granted technology developed by AdvEn. The technology is termed Electrode Superior Adhesive Coating (ESAC), which can fabricate electrode at much-reduced capital and production cost and eliminates toxic solvents commonly used in the conventional technologies. This proposal will enable AdvEn to fabricate self-supported, high-strength electrode films reaching a production speed of at least 10-15 m/min. The pilot process is instrumental in finalizing the design of a demo-production line and start of constructing a demo-production plant in 2024.
