ANNOUNCING UP TO $65 MILLION FOR 2025 INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE TO INCREASE ALBERTA’S GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS
Alberta’s emissions-intensive, trade-exposed industries face challenges to reducing emissions while improving operational efficiencies and increasing global competitiveness amidst geopolitical changes. ERA’s Industrial Transformation Challenge is an annual funding competition designed to improve the economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability of Alberta’s industrial and natural resource sectors.
The 2025 Industrial Transformation Challenge provides up to $65 million towards technology scale-up, pilot demonstration, and first-of-kind projects that present transformative solutions for Alberta’s industrial landscape.
