$25 Million in Funding Toward 13 Industry Driven Emissions Reduction Projects
The Government of Saskatchewan is announcing more than $25 million in funding through the Saskatchewan Technology Fund to support 13 industry-driven projects focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the province. These projects, which leverage more than $277 million in additional private sector and government investment, will ensure the sustainability of Saskatchewan industries and drive forward technologies that will lead to a cleaner, more prosperous future.
“By focusing on technology and innovation, we are ensuring that Saskatchewan takes a leadership role in environmental responsibility while remaining at the forefront of innovation,” Environment Minister Christine Tell said. “These projects demonstrate that Saskatchewan industries can thrive while reducing their carbon footprints, all without imposing the burdensome costs of a carbon tax.”
The funding will support a range of market-ready technologies, innovations and improvement projects. The projects have the potential to significantly reduce emissions across multiple sectors while contributing to global efforts to address climate change. The projects are expected to result in the reduction of more than 4,595,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent through reducing methane emissions from venting and flaring, upgrading equipment to enhance energy efficiency, and deploying carbon capture and storage technologies.
