Clean Energy Systems for Industry

Manufacturing, process and resource industries use 42 percent of all energy consumed in Canada and generate 34 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions. The Government of Canada supports R&D to develop cross-cutting technologies applicable to several industrial sectors and sub-sectors such as process integration, sensors and controls, combustion, separation processes, and bio-based energy and processes. It also supports better energy efficiency in the basic resource industries - pulp and paper, agriculture, fisheries and mining.

The Office of  Energy R&D provides funding to work with industry in the improvement and development of industrial processes and technologies that will reduce industrial energy intensities and lower industrial air emissions (criteria air contaminants and greenhouse gas emissions) while ensuring that Canadian industry remains productive and competitive.

CanmetENERGY is the Canadian leader in clean energy research and technology development. It manages science and technology programs and services, supports the development of energy policy, codes and regulations, acts as a window to federal financing and works with partners to develop more energy efficient and cleaner technologies.
