mining decarbonization demonstration call

aligned with oerd’s commitment to driving innovation to accelerate canada’s clean energy transition, the mining decarbonization demonstration call (“the call”) will fund in-field demonstration projects aimed at providing real-world data to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative, low-carbon solutions at canadian upstream to midstream operations in the mining sector. the call will focus on these technology pathways: 1) mobile equipment, 2) stationary combustion sources, and 3) energy efficiency.

projects must address the following objectives:

• de-risk and accelerate the adoption of innovative technologies in canada’s mining sector that reduce upstream and midstream operational emissions;
• advance the commercialization of clean technology solutions to position canadian innovators as global leaders in mining sector decarbonization; and
• foster collaboration between clean technology developers and owners and/or operators of mining, milling, and/or smelting assets in canada.
