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.

Exploring and Investigating Residuals from Nova Scotia Tree Species as Biomass Source for High-Grade Biochar Production in G2 Series Carbonization Reactor Systems
1019928
The subject of the proposed project is to allocate an engineering youth graduate recently hired by the company to advance the company’s expertise in biochar processing, and in particular, with Nova Scotia feedstocks. We feel our company is leading edge in biochar technology and we want to strengthen our knowledge and data base focused on Nova Scotian resources, so that we are in a position to substantiate the technical and financial parameters which can be achieved with local production. We have invested the last 6 years in innovation and want to continue to advance in this important field.
