The Government of Canada has announced more than $11M in investments in made-in-Canada carbon utilization and storage technologies. The Institut national de la recherche scientifique has received nearly $5M to assess a geological storage site for CO2 in the Lower Saint Lawrence Lowlands using digital replicas and 3D seismic data. Memorial University has also received nearly $5M in funding to assess the potential for carbon storage targets in Atlantic Canada. Université Laval has received $483K to test a process used to sequester CO2 and simultaneously recover critical metals used in battery production. In addition to the funding, the government has launched the AI for Canadian Energy Innovation Call for Proposals, which will fund Canadian-made AI solutions that increase domestic energy innovation and decrease costs.
