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.

Pilot demonstration of methane pyrolysis solution for the production of clean hydrogen and solid carbon
1039833
Ekona has built and tested a 200 kg-H2/day methane pyrolysis system at its Burnaby-based pilot facility. This proposed project will expand the site with a next-generation reactor for higher efficiency, increased capacity to 500 kg-H2/day, and upgraded carbon handling and gas cleanup systems to enable continuous production of clean hydrogen and carbon black. This project will advance firm’s methane pyrolysis technology from TRL 5 to TRL7 and develop a pilot plant, forming the design basis for Ekona’s early commercial field demonstration.
