Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) has launched new funding program for the development of technologies that reduce the footprint of natural gas production.
The Natural Gas Challenge has a total expenditure CAD $50 million, in which ERA will match private investments up to CAD $10 million per project and up to 50% of total project costs.
The ERA is looking for technologies that are at least ready to field pilot in areas such as: new natural gas production and processing systems; addressing leaks and fugitive emissions; alternatives to flaring and venting; renewable/synthetic natural gas production; innovation for transportation of natural gas; technology for natural gas-fueled transportation and mobility; and conversion to value-added products.
Submissions will be accepted between November 4 and December 19, 2019.
