Advanced Materials Challenge | Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA)

January 22, 2025

Value

Up to $5 million with a minimum request of $250,000.

Description

The Advanced Materials Challenge offers up to $40 million for scale-up, pilot demonstration, and first-of-kind projects that shape the circular economy and create low emissions products, including concrete, plastics, food, wood, carbon materials, chemicals, and more. The funding call will increase the competitiveness of Alberta’s manufacturing and resource sectors, grow new provincial industries with export potential, and reduce the carbon footprint of material supply chains.

Potential technologies range from creating non-combustion products from bitumen, improved circularity for the plastics value chain, waste management, recovery, and recycling, processing of critical minerals, and producing materials from carbon dioxide.
