Carbon Capture Kickstart

Overview of the Carbon Capture Kickstart program:

The Carbon Capture Kickstart Program by Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) is a funding initiative aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of innovative carbon capture technologies. This program is designed to support projects that have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Alberta, with a focus on enabling the commercialization of new and emerging carbon capture solutions.

Benefits of the Carbon Capture Kickstart program:

• The Carbon Capture Kickstart Program offers substantial financial support to companies working on carbon capture technologies. Successful applicants can receive funding of up to $7.5 million per project, covering up to 50% of eligible costs. This funding helps reduce the financial burden of developing and scaling carbon capture solutions, enabling companies to focus on innovation and commercial viability. Additionally, being part of this program provides companies with the opportunity to contribute to Alberta's climate goals, potentially positioning them as leaders in the carbon capture industry.

Eligibility criteria of the Carbon Capture Kickstart program:

• To be eligible for the Carbon Capture Kickstart Program, applicants must meet the following criteria:
• Geographic Focus: The project must be located in Alberta, Canada.
• Technology Readiness Level (TRL): Projects should be at a TRL between 6 and 9, indicating that the technology is at or near the demonstration phase.
• GHG Emissions Reduction: The project must have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Commercialization Potential: The technology should have strong potential for commercialization and deployment within Alberta.
