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.
