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.

Excir Technology Large Scale Demonstration and Deployment
1029499
Every year Canada produces an estimated 725,000 tonnes of E-Waste. Excir Works from Calgary has a proven, efficient, environmentally-friendly process to recycle the gold and metals from electronic waste. Their technology can recover +99% of gold as well as other precious, and base metals, from E-waste and similar waste streams, such as catalytic converters.
In this project, Excir Works will engineer, design, and manufacture a commercial pilot unit (a.k.a. plant) for the Excir hydrometallurgy technology. The plant will be capable of delivering high throughput processing of E-Waste and validating the technology at commercial scale.
Excir will also complete crucial pre-commercial and commercial scale R&D to ensure the technology works at higher scales and with various types of E-Waste, to lower the risks of scaling up and deploying the Excir commercial prototype.

UKRI Critical Minerals – 10121616 - EWPPMGU - Selective Recovery and Refining of Critical Minerals from E-waste and Battery System Feedstock
1023115
As part of the international consortium project “[EWPPMGU]”, this project focuses on industrial research and development to recover critical minerals like Nickel, Cobalt, Lithium, Platinum, and Palladium from electronic waste (E-waste) and battery systems. Utilizing advanced chemistry, it aims to expand Excir's innovative extraction process to additional critical mineral-rich feedstocks identified by WEEE Scotland Ltd. and The Royal Mint (TRM). By building on TRM's success in using Excir’s chemistry to extract gold from E-waste, the project seeks to broaden the range of extractable metals and develop commercially scalable solutions to enhance the circularity of these essential resources.
