VANCOUVER — Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. has received the second instalment of $100,000 in grant funding from Alberta Innovates, a provincial Crown research and innovation corporation. This move is followed by the completion of an engineering design for Northstar’s planned asphalt shingle reprocessing facility in Calgary.
Northstar received approval in March 2022 for a non-repayable $200,000 grant for the direct engineering costs of the Calgary Empower Facility under Alberta Innovates’ Bioenergy Program.
The agreed milestones for the project under the joint Milestone Reporting and Payment Schedule were an award of $100,000 upon completion of Northstar’s Front-End Engineering Design and a further $100,000 award on completion of detailed engineering design, which the company has now completed and was announced on April 8, 2024.
The First Tranche of $100,000 for Northstar’s FEED was awarded in March 2022 and the Second Tranche of $100,000 has now been awarded based on the successful completion of an engineering design for the Calgary Empower Facility.
“Alberta Innovates was the first public organization to support Northstar – recognizing the potential of and providing funding for the engineering of our first-of-its-kind facility,” said Aidan Mills, President and CEO and Director of Northstar.
“Having now completed the detailed design phase of our Empower Calgary Facility, and having Alberta Innovates recognize this accomplishment with their second government grant is very complimentary to the company.”
