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.

Engineering and Optimization of Affinity-Tagged Carbonic Anhydrase
1033377
This project focuses on engineering novel affinity-tagged variants of carbonic anhydrase to enable stable, high-performance immobilization for scalable carbon capture through accelerated weathering in seawater-based systems. These tags are designed to enhance catalytic efficiency, improve enzyme durability in high-ionic-strength conditions, and enable reversible binding for regeneration and reusability. The work will support biocatalyst integration into continuous flow reactors, yielding performance gains essential for pilot-to-commercial scale deployment in negative-emissions technologies.

ARP - Bioenergy Carbon Capture Pilot Project
1028878
This project develops and tests a pilot-scale Bioenergy Carbon Capture Marine Storage (BECCMS) system at Nova Scotia Community College’s (NSCC) Bridgewater Campus. The system uses Accelerated Weathering of Limestone (AWL) to capture biogenic CO2 emissions from a 250MW biomass boiler, converting it into bicarbonate for safe marine storage. Key goals include validating the technology’s efficiency (targeting TRL 5/6), optimizing limestone and water use, and preparing for scaled deployment. Collaborating with NSCC and Acfor Energy, the project advances carbon-negative energy solutions while supporting workforce training and coastal ecosystem health.
