Natural Resources Canada unveiled its Clean Growth Program last month providing $155 million for clean technology research and development (R&D) and demonstration projects in Canada’s energy, mining and forestry sectors. Projects can range from $300k – $5 million depending on their focus. Demonstration projects can be supported up to 50% by the program. Research and development activities can be supported up to 75%.
Clean technology refers to any product, process or service that improves on environmental performance; minimizes the use of non-renewable resources; uses resources in ways that reduce costs, waste and pollution; and contributes to sustainable development in regard to greenhouse gases, water quality, or soil.
NEIA is seeking information on possible projects appropriate for this program to provide support to proponents. If you have a project in mind, contact Kieran Hanley at kieran@neia.org.
