What it does
This program advances clean technologies in Canada’s natural resources sector by funding RD&D projects. Projects taken in collaboration with ODGs, academia and other organizations will realize reductions in negative impacts of GHG emissions. By focusing on Impact Canada (Clean Technology Stream, Smart Cities Stream), Clean Growth in Natural Resources Sectors, Oil Spill Response and Low-Carbon Government projects, this program advances clean technologies across all Canadian natural resources sectors while realizing economic and environmental benefits. This program also supports projects leading to tangible improvements in competitiveness and sustainability of resource development and use in Canada by utilizing a series of prize-based challenges for breakthrough technologies to persistent complex problems. This program also contributes towards the government wide Mission Innovation commitment.
