Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on Tuesday put out a call for proposals for the Critical Minerals Research Development and Demonstration (CMRDD) programme, which makes available C$40-million in contribution funding to support developing technology and pilot demonstration projects.

These projects will help develop critical minerals value chains, contributing to Canada's goal of becoming net-zero by 2050.

“This second call for proposals will support Canadian innovators to drive economic growth and job creation in communities right across Canada,” said Wilkinson.

The CMRDD programme advances the commercial readiness of technologies that will help Canada produce key critical minerals. This new round of funding aims to address a gap in the critical minerals value chain by moving projects from the pre-commercial stage into demonstration, adoption and integration into domestic and international value chains.

Up to C$5-million per project is available for pilot plant and demonstration projects that meet technology-readiness levels 6 to 8. Projects must advance technologies to produce key critical minerals and support raw material inputs into priority value chains in Canada for use in clean technologies; advanced manufacturing; and/or information and communications technologies and semiconductors, as identified in the Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy.

Applications can be submitted online before September 29.
