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.

Carbon Capture & Utilization (CCU) - For Alternative Cement Production
1029654
Demand for building solutions that meet the resiliency challenges of a changing climate that produce regularly occurring extreme weather events is accelerating. These events are driving demand for cement-based building envelopes and materials that are difficult to compete with in terms of resiliency, but at odds with Climate goals for decarbonization. Without a North American source of a low carbon footprint cement, to replace the reliance on traditional cement or Asian originating alternative cement products, generating meaningful reductions in GHG emissions will be unachievable. Furthermore, security of supply chains and the Canadian advantage of pumped brines available will be left untapped.ZS2’s project, “Carbon capture and utilization plant for Direct-air-capture to magnesium cement from brine water” will demonstrate a pilot scale, continuous manufacturing process, using patent pending technology and biomass feedstock, to produce electrode-grade Activated Carbon in Canada. The production process uses renewable biomass feedstock (lignin), a waste material from the domestic pulp and paper industry, to create a high value product that:provides superior structural capabilities compared to competitors, promotes a sustainable, circular economy, provides a secure domestic supply chain, and eliminates overseas sourcing, reducing fuel usage and lowering GHGs.

Magnesium carbonated cements as CO2 sequestered pre-cast product
970187
ZS2 has engaged a large mining company to jointly develop a carbon capture system that carbonizes ZS2’s precast products with the emissions generated in the production of cement related products. ZS2’s project is to identify and prove the feasibility of bench scale carbon capture through MgO formulations that utilize waste streams and can make a meaningful impact in the CO2 footprint of MgO production.
