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.

The conversion of low-grade waste heat to power could be a game changer in our fight to reduce carbon emissions and meet the UN clean energy sustainability goals. The sources of waste low grade heat are numerous. In the oil and gas industry alone, every day over 14.5 billion standard cubic feet of methane gas (Bcf/d) is flared and vented with the energy and heat, wasted. In addition, to the significant waste of energy, this practice is a major source of greenhouse gases emissions and has a negative environmental impact on air quality. These negative environmental impacts from this current inefficient way of dealing with waste gases could cost effectively be solved with Questor’s technology clean combustion solutions and this proposal, to further develop our low-grade waste heat to power solutions. Low grade waste heat is abundant and readily available 24/7 from many industries. As a result, using an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to convert the heat to power could supply significant amount of clean energy and contribute to balancing the variability challenges faced with power generation from wind and solar. Power generated from waste heat is zero emission and clean. The battery is simply a hot water tank. More importantly the foot print is small and the future environmental liabilities are small in comparison to wind and solar. No rare earth minerals are required for this power generation and future environmental liabilities are minimal.
