Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson is doling out $28.9 million in funding for a series of carbon capture and renewable energy projects across Canada today.
The money is coming from Canada’s Energy Innovation Program, which the federal government says in a news release promotes clean tech and looks to keep Canadian energy reliable and competitive.
The biggest share of the funding will go toward five projects for carbon capture, utilization and storage technology.

Two Saskatchewan organizations will receive a combined nearly $15 million through the funding to help design and understand carbon capture processes.
More than $9 million of the funding will go toward renewable energy projects, specifically in solar power.
The remainder of the money announced today will fund projects for smart grid technologies that aim to improve the efficiency of electricity flows.

Carbon capture? LOL
Maybe if they stop breathing and talking we wouldn’t have imaginary problem with carbon.
Carney wanted to show a budget that cut wasteful spending. Then his government does this…
When will this carbon tax and waste of money end?
Every time Carney tries to say he is working for Canadians, he is actually doing his best to hurt us.. Just like Trudeau.
Well, this FREE CANADIAN does NOT want to be FORCED to pay for this program any more because I do NOT believe that it is going to do a thing in helping to stop climate change that other countries continue to contribute to. Makes no sense to me, at all. Really would like to move to a country that is not as obsessed about something they cannot do a thing about, a government that only wants more and more money in their vault.
