Technology Funding

For Alberta businesses working on technologies that can materially reduce greenhouse gas emissions, securing the right kind of project funding can be the difference between a promising concept and a deployable solution. Technology Funding from Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) is designed for companies developing innovations that can be scaled across multiple industrial operations, particularly in emissions‑intensive sectors such as energy, utilities, and clean technology.

This program supports a broad range of technology areas aligned with Alberta’s transition to a lower‑emissions economy. Projects often focus on solutions related to carbon sequestration, future fuels, energy efficiency, industrial transformation, and circular economy applications. Funding is non‑repayable and varies by project scope, with ERA typically backing initiatives that demonstrate strong potential for emissions reduction alongside commercial and industrial impact. Both growing SMEs and larger enterprises can be a fit, especially those prepared to pilot, demonstrate, or scale technologies with real-world industrial use cases.

Applications are generally accepted through ongoing or periodic calls, starting with an expression of interest before moving into a full proposal for shortlisted projects. For Alberta-based businesses exploring advanced clean technologies and looking for substantial project-based support, reviewing the full program details can help determine whether ERA’s Technology Funding aligns with your innovation and growth plans.
