University of British Columbia will get 1,250 000 CAD for project Deployment of Low-Cost, Low Emission Hydrogen Plant from Natural Gas Pyrolysis
Standing Wave Reformers Inc. will get 600, 000 for the project named A New Wave In Hydrogen Production
The Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN) announced the funding of nineteen (19) additional high-impact projects, totaling $16.1 million CAD in support. These projects have been selected to receive support through an optimization of funding dedicated to the high quality applicant pool from within CRIN’s Oil and Gas Technology Competitions, which aim to address pressing environmental and economic challenges. CRIN has entered the contracting phase, a rigorous process to finalize the funding agreement, for this portfolio of projects.
“CRIN is excited to provide funding for these impactful projects,” said Glen McCrimmon, CRIN’s Director of Operations. “These projects align well with CRIN’s vision where Canada is the global leader in clean hydrocarbons from source to end use and exemplify how oil and gas energy development and environmental stewardship can go hand-in-hand. We look forward to seeing these initiatives progress in the coming months.”
“The funding announced today will offer critical support to Canadian innovators and contribute to the commercialization of ground-breaking technologies that will help our oil and gas industry’s environmental performance.” said Francois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. “Congratulations to all recipients of the CRIN program support; your projects will help our innovative industries reduce their carbon footprint and play a key role in helping Canada reach its climate goals.”
