Mining Decarbonization Demonstration Call for Proposals

STATUS: Closed

The Energy Innovation Program (EIP) - Mining Decarbonization Demonstration Call (“the Call”) aims to support the uptake of energy decarbonization technologies within Canada’s mining sector. The Call focuses specifically on demonstration activities within Canadian upstream to midstream operations, which is critical to support the scaling and commercialization of the technologies required to achieve impactful emissions reductions and enable the sustainable development of Canada’s low-carbon mineral supply chains.

Why is Canada investing in Mining Decarbonization Demonstration?

Canada’s mining sector is a major contributor to the national economy and provides critical inputs for the clean technology value chain, but it is also a source of hard-to-abate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many of the technologies required to decarbonize the unique assets and processes in the mining sector are not yet commercialized. Where technologies are mature, they have yet to achieve wide-scale adoption across the sector. Continued investment in demonstration activities within Canadian upstream to midstream operations, are critical to support the scaling and commercialization of decarbonization technologies used in the mining sector and are necessary to support Canada’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Results

The Energy Innovation Program (EIP) - Mining Decarbonization Demonstration Call received 52 eligible submissions, amounting to an overall request of $170.2M.

As the funded projects are announced, they will be posted on our Current Investments page.
