Sustainable Development Technology Canada\u2013funded projects exemplify innovative technology practices for improved environmental outcomes and job creation<\/p>\n
September 19, 2016 \u2013 Vancouver, British Columbia \u2013 Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada<\/p>\n
The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, today announced an investment of over $39.6 million in 14 innovative clean technology projects across Canada. The projects, which are being carried out in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, span several sectors, including waste management; energy, exploration and production; power generation; energy utilization; and agriculture. Minister Bains also announced $5.5 million in new funding for three previously funded Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) projects.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made at\u00a0DarkVision Technologies Inc.<\/a>, which will receive $3 million in SDTC funding for the development of oil and gas well imaging technology. Projects are funded through SDTC\u2019s SD Tech Fund. This investment is part of the Government of Canada\u2019s support of clean technology to diversify Canada\u2019s economy, open access to new international markets, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create well-paying middle-class jobs for Canadians.The Government of Canada has allocated a total of $915 million for the fund to invest in pre-commercial Canadian clean technology projects that have the potential to meet market demand and to achieve Canada\u2019s environmental and economic goals in priority areas.<\/p>\n Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThrough today\u2019s investments, we hope to reinvigorate energy innovation in this country. We want to see all industries, all sectors, indeed all Canadians, including the middle class, benefit from this country\u2019s amazing potential for long-term growth and success. We imagine a Canada leading the world out of this period of slow growth.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 The Honourable Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development<\/p>\n \u201cThe investments announced today by Minister Bains demonstrate clean technology\u2019s ability to deliver tremendous economic and environmental opportunities to Canadians. SDTC works to bring economically viable innovations to market. The goal is to support globally competitive Canadian companies that produce tangible environmental benefits that also make Canada\u2019s economy more competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Leah Lawrence, President and CEO, Sustainable Development Technology Canada<\/p>\n \u201cDarkVision is pleased to receive this level of SDTC funding and support for the rollout of our downhole imaging technology. Our product helps oil and gas operators resolve critical problems in their wells that create inefficiencies. We are excited to work with both SDTC and our consortium partners in bringing this technology to market and helping the oil and gas industry in Canada lower its costs, become more competitive and reduce its environmental footprint.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 Stephen Robinson, CEO, DarkVision Technologies Inc.<\/p>\n Quick facts<\/strong><\/p>\n Associated links<\/strong><\/p>\n Sustainable Development Technology Canada approved projects<\/strong><\/p>\n British Columbia<\/p>\n Axine Water Technologies Inc.
