CRIN Funds Nineteen New Projects in Oil & Gas Technology Competitions
Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN) proudly announces the funding of nineteen additional high-impact projects, totaling $16.1 million CAD. These projects, selected through CRIN's Oil and Gas Technology Competitions, aim to address environmental and economic challenges in the industry.
Driving Tangible Contributions
Upon successful commercialization, these initiatives have the potential to make significant contributions to society. This includes emissions reductions, decreased water and land use intensity, and job creation. CRIN is currently finalizing the funding agreements for this portfolio of projects.
Advancing Energy Innovation
Glen McCrimmon, CRIN's Director of Operations, expresses excitement about funding these impactful projects. He highlights how they align with CRIN's vision of making Canada a global leader in clean hydrocarbons while demonstrating the compatibility of oil and gas energy development with environmental stewardship.
Government Support and Climate Goals
Francois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry, acknowledges the critical support provided by CRIN's funding. He emphasizes that these projects will help reduce the carbon footprint of the oil and gas industry, contributing to Canada's climate goals.
The funded projects cover a diverse range of innovations within the energy sector. Some notable initiatives include 3P Technology's Stationary Seismic Monitoring, Acceleware Ltd.'s Electromagnetic Heating Technology for Heavy Oil and Bitumen, and Arolytics Inc.'s Integrated Emissions Management Platform.
These funding amounts represent the maximum support available from CRIN for each project. The funding is made possible through the Government of Canada's Strategic Innovation Fund. CRIN's overarching objectives align with seven themes, including Cleaner Fuels, Digital Oil and Gas, Carbon Capture, and Value-added Products.
CRIN, as a pan-Canadian network, connects various stakeholders to accelerate the commercialization and adoption of clean technology in the oil and gas industry. Supported by the Government of Canada's Strategic Innovation Fund, CRIN aims to ensure the sustainable development of Canada's hydrocarbon resources while creating environmental, economic, and public benefits.
