Industrial Innovation (IIG)

The Industrial Innovations Group (IIG) performs and financially supports R&D and demonstration projects, including;

• innovative steel making;
• biofuels for stationary and transportation applications;
• biomass for heat, power, gaseous fuels and bio-products;
• waste oil and coke recovery; and
• ceramic membranes for H₂ and C0₂ separation.

IIG has supported numerous Canadian Industrial energy reduction driven R&D; projects through our Industry Energy Research and Development Program (IERD) and our Emerging Technologies Program (ETP).

The IERD program is aimed at financially supporting the development of leading edge products, processes or systems that will increase the efficiency of energy use through the use of technologies developed under the program.

The ETP program is aimed at financially supporting the identification and the development of emerging energy efficiency technologies that have significant potential for energy use reduction, improved manufacturing competitiveness, and reduced environmental impact in Canada.

Other programs housed in the IIG Group are:

• Bioenergy and Biodiesel;
• Energy Technologies for High Temperature Processes;
• Process and Environmental Catalysis.
