While most of ERA’s funding is distributed through competitive funding calls, projects are also considered through the Continuous Intake Program. This allows ERA to remain nimble in addressing gaps to ensure high-potential and strategically important projects can be evaluated outside the traditional call for proposals cycle. Core to the Continuous Intake Program is the Partnership […]| Emissions Reduction Alberta
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has the potential to meet critical grid needs for affordability, reliability, and long-duration energy storage. CAES features paired compression and expansion systems connected by an air storage reservoir. During off-peak hours, excess energy from the grid is used to compress air via a compression train and stored in a solution-mined salt cavern. Then, during peak hours, the stored air is released, reheated and expanded through the...| Emissions Reduction Alberta
LithiumBank is a leading developer of lithium brine resources in Alberta and holds the largest and highest-grade lithium resources in the province. The company is collaborating with SLB, which has created an end-to-end process involving resource quantification, Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE), polishing, and processing to produce a battery-grade product. Funding from ERA is directed toward advancing […]| Emissions Reduction Alberta
Carbon Management Canada (CMC) will develop real-time and cost-effective systems for monitoring, measurement and verification (MMV) of carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage.
