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:

GraphPureTM Technology Development

Agreement Number:

1029016

Duration: from Mar 4, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

Lithium-Ion Batteries (LiB) dominate the electric vehicle (EV) market and require high purity graphite to function. As demand for EVs increases, a supply gap in graphite is projected to be 3 million tonnes by 2029. With SDTC’s support, Green Graphite Technologies (GGT) will commercialize the most cost effective and environmentally friendly sustainable process to transform mined natural flake graphite into high purity LiB-grade graphite.  This industrial scale demo plant will be used to engineer standard modular technology packages for rapid commercial roll-out. As a technology provider, GGT will license its patent pending GraphPureTM technology to all NFG miners.  With 10 modules expected to be in operation within 5 years of commercialization the impact on CO2e reduction is 2.1M tpa. GGT’s multidisciplinary team of industry experts are confident that GraphPureTM can be demonstrated at an industrial scale in less than 5 years for the benefit of multiple Canadian graphite miners.
