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:

Demonstration of Commercial Grade Nano-technology Based Heat Pump

Agreement Number:

1039679

Duration: from Dec 1, 2025 to Feb 1, 2027
Description:

Enersion will design, build, and demonstrate a commercial-grade, thermally driven heat pump at an Ontario College. The system, powered by solar and waste heat, will provide efficient heating and cooling without synthetic refrigerants, reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. This project advances Enersion’s technology from prototype to market-ready product, creates opportunities for Canadian clean-tech exports, and supports training for the next generation of sustainable energy professionals.

Eurogia - EU2030-24-17 HP - Hybrid heat pump that uses a 0 GWP refrigerant and 10 times less electricity

Agreement Number:

1020710

Duration: from Jun 1, 2024 to Mar 30, 2026
Description:

As part of the international consortium project “HP”, this project will focus on addressing the energy and environmental crisis caused by air conditioning and heating by developing efficient, zero-emission cooling and heating technology solely powered by waste or solar heat. This involves integrating Enersion's novel heat pump technology with NovNat's advanced metal-organic frameworks, potentially reducing electricity consumption by over 10 times and offering significant cost savings while significantly improving performance.

Zero-Emission Off-Grid Cooling, Heating and Power for Mobile Demonstration

Agreement Number:

998306

Duration: from Nov 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023
Description:

Enersion will provide a mobile version of the Solar Trigeneration that directly converts solar thermal energy to electricity, cooling and heating for a portable office space for the purpose of demonstration. The unit would be installed on a portable office space that would be completely off the grid and yet obtain emission less heating, cooling and electricity.

Optimizing the design of Enersion’s chiller to transition from prototype to commercial product

Agreement Number:

981471

Duration: from Sep 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2022
Description:

Enersion’s chiller is at a point of transitioning from a larger footprint validated prototype system to an optimized commercial system that would be made for sale to customers, as such there is additional development that is required to have a system that is designed for manufacturability and deployment. The goal of this project is Research, Development and Deployment, wherein R&D will be performed on two aspects: reducing the overall physical footprint of the system and developing an assembly/deployment method to make the system plug-and-play. The outcome of the project will be a pilot system for in-lab operation/testing and the next steps would be having a de-risked system for deployment at a potential customer site in California.
