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.

Agreement:

Increasing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) Production from Agricultural Residues

Agreement Number:

1005838

Duration: from Apr 2, 2023 to Apr 30, 2025
Description:

The proposed project aims to develop the next-generation RNG production system comprising Hyperthermophilic Hydrolysis (HTH), advanced Biogas Upgrading (BUG), and Hydrobiomethanation (HBM) systems. This project helps Anaergia to expand the Canadian RNG market from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and sewage sludge (SS) to purpose-grown energy crops and agricultural residues while also developing next generation biogas upgrading systems for the expanding market.

Agreement:

Implementation of reinforcement learning to optimize biogas production through the development of a Digital Twin Model

Agreement Number:

975671

Duration: from Jul 1, 2021 to Sep 30, 2022
Description:

The proposed project aims to develop and demonstrate a machine learning based Recommender System using reinforcement learning and 2 different digital twin models, ultimately, to help Anaergia Plant Operators make more informed decisions, with an objective to optimize (increase or decrease) biogas production, total plant capacity, downtime, stability of biogas production, energy use, natural gas use, valorization of non-organic waste, quality of fertilizer output, based on Plant objectives and operation and maintenance (O&M) contracts.

Agreement:

Reduce Tipping Fees Associated with Municipal Solid Waste Disposal through Enhanced Diversion and Valorization

Agreement Number:

953505

Duration: from Aug 1, 2020 to Feb 26, 2021
Description:

Anaergia is a leader in the recovery of value from waste. During the project period, enhanced waste diversion strategies will be evaluated to recover plastic film, cellulosic products and recyclables in an effort to reduce the overall cost of disposing municipal solid waste.

Agreement:

Development of an Integrated Organics Polishing System

Agreement Number:

927204

Duration: from Apr 1, 2019 to Jun 30, 2020
Description:

Currently, technologies do not exist which can properly polish the organic fraction of municipal solid waste such that they are clean and free of plastic, glass and grit. This project will develop an integrated solution capable of removing contaminants from the organic fraction of solid waste before anaerobic digestion for the recovery of renewable energy.
