| Title | Proponent | Description & Details of US participation | Request to GoC 2009-2010 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reduction of GHG Emissions and Energy Efficiency Improvement Opportunities in the Upstream Oil & Gas Industry in China | Clearstone Engineering Calgary, Alberta |
2-year project to facilitate development of verifiable GHG and Criteria Air Contaminant emission reductions at upstream oil and gas facilities in China, through transfer of technical expertise and technical support. | $350,105.00 |
| Clean Energy Pipeline to Ultra Clean Generation Project | Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. Calgary, Alberta |
This project will combine a 1MW pipeline turboexpander and a 1.2 MW molten carbonate fuel cell, resulting in a distributed generation unit with a very high gas to power efficiency and 13 times less NoX emissions than a standard combined cycle plant. Plant is in Toronto area.
