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.

YEP: contact paste material screening for Reversible Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Applications

Agreement Number:

993089

Duration: from Aug 1, 2022 to Jan 31, 2023
Description:

SeeO2 Energy has developed world-leading electrocatalyst for reversible solid oxide fuel cell (RSOFC) systems, with promising performance to produce syngas from H2O:CO2 feeds. As a next step, SeeO2 Energy is working on the scale-up of this technology, by assembling and operating multiple cells (also called “stack”) In a stack ensemble, a contact paste material (CPM) connects the respective electrodes with the interconnect and provides stable electrical conduction paths between the interconnect and electrodes during operation. Stable, long-term, and high performing RSOFC stack cannot be achieved unless an optimized CPM is found. Thus, the objective of the proposed project is to identify an optimized CPM
