EDMONTON – The Climate Change and Emissions Management (CCEMC) Corporation is making $10 million in funding available to support small and medium sized businesses that are in the early stages of developing new clean technology. Eligible projects include proof-of-concept, research and development and small pilot scale initiatives.
“The CCEMC knows that small and medium sized businesses are historically very strong innovators,” said CCEMC Chair Eric Newell. “With this expression of interest we’re inviting them to give us their very best ideas to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Alberta and support our transition to a lower carbon economy.”
Private sector businesses that are developing ideas linked to conservation and efficiency, greening energy production, and carbon capture and storage are encouraged to review the Expression of Interest guidelines available on the CCEMC website, ccemc.ca. Small and medium sized private sector organizations having fewer than 250 employees are eligible.
“We recognize that small companies can often find it difficult to access the capital required to advance their technologies, “ said Newell. “That’s why the CCEMC is issuing this EOI for small and medium sized organizations with creative ideas to address greenhouse gas reductions.”
