The Université Laval, the Université de Sherbrooke, and the Governing Council of the University of Toronto have received funding from the Government of Canada to support the research, development, and demonstration of carbon capture and storage technologies. U of T’s project will collect $2.5M to leverage low-cost, renewable, electric direct air capture removal processes. ULaval will receive $600K to conduct research on solid absorbents for direct air capture applications, while USherbrooke will receive $500K to improve cryogenic technology for the development of a supersonic carbon capture process. This funding is part of a larger $10.8M federal investment through the Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage Research, Development, and Demonstration call for proposals.
