Grants and Contributions:
NRCan intends to work with the International Energy Agency (IEA) and partners to identify practical technical capacity-building opportunities to strengthen the capacity of Ukraine’s natural resource sectors, drawing in participation by Canadian private sector and academic institutions. Specific discussions on a potential project on natural gas, which would leverage Alberta-based expertise, are ongoing. However, if this project is not ready by the time grant funding must be delivered to IEA, remaining funding would support of the overall IEA-Ukraine Joint Work Programme on energy planning.
