Canada Funds Decarbonization Projects in British Columbia
On November 28, 2024, the Government of Canada announced $12.5 million in funding for six projects aimed at reducing emissions from industrial activities in British Columbia. These projects, funded under the Energy Innovation Program, include the development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. Notable projects include Carbon Engineering ULC's effort to electrify direct air capture systems and Arca Climate Technologies Inc.'s work on utilizing mining waste for carbon mineralization. Such initiatives could influence operational practices within the mining sector, particularly in integrating low-carbon technologies.
