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.

Carbonova Next Generation Reactor Design & CNF Validation
1034893
This project will develop a next-generation reactor that transforms syngas from waste CO2 and methane into valuable carbon nanofibers. The work will advance design concepts and early testing of key systems to improve efficiency, consistency, and safety. By converting greenhouse gases into high-value materials, the project will support Canadian leadership in clean technology, open new opportunities in advanced manufacturing, and create future jobs in the sustainable materials sector.

Scaling Up Production of Carbon Nanofibers from Greenhouse Gases
1002051
The main project scope is to successfully design a, commercial scale unit that produces scalable quantities of CNFs for our customers. We will optimize the existing pilot plant by adjusting operating conditions and making minor design changes to produce the optimum, most economically feasible carbon product for potential customers in order to backstop purchase orders and/or product development agreements to support financing of the new commercial unit.

Catalyst upgrade and developing industrially scalable formulation
975995
This project aims to optimize and upgrade the formulation of catalysts for carbon formation. The current formulation recipe had drawbacks of slow production, high wastewater content, and fast degradation and the need for homogenization. This project targets to re-evaluate the formulation, steps of preparation, optimize the concentration and the size of each batch with a goal to make the production industrially scalable. The catalyst will be evaluated in the production of CNF and the results will be used to optimize the formulation and method of production.

Scale-up of carbon nanofibers producing prototype
947866
This project aims to derisk Carbonova's new technology in producing carbon nanofibers/nanotubes from greenhouse gases.
In particular, during this project, the prototype for the scale-up process will be developed for generating carbon nanofibers. This project targets to advance the engineering design of the scale-up process, build the prototype in the modular form and test the prototype. Eventually, this project will result in a system with a higher capacity and higher rate of production for CNF production.
