正文(英文) | April 30, 2019 Montreal, Quebec Natural Resources Canada Improving the energy efficiency of Canada’s mines is critical to our transition to a low-carbon economy. Finding and advancing innovative solutions that reduce energy use for crushing and grinding mined rock will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve productivity and help our mining industry become more competitive. Paul Lefebvre, Parliamentary Secretary to the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today announced the six finalists for Impact Canada’s Crush it! Challenge at the 2019 Canadian Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s Convention. Each finalist is eligible to receive up to $800,000 to build and test his or her cleantech solution before advancing to the next stage of the challenge. The finalists are:
Launched in October 2018, Crush It! challenged Canadian innovators to deliver game-changing solutions for cleaner, more efficient rock processing. Of the 65 applications received, 12 semi-finalists pitched their ideas to a seven-member jury of cleantech and innovation leaders in the mining sector at a public showcase event held in conjunction with the #DisruptMining event in March. Eleven of the semi-finalists received $10,000 in micro-grants to develop their proposals. In March 2021, a $5-million Grand Prize will be awarded to the innovator demonstrating the best energy breakthrough in crushing and grinding rocks. Crush It! is one of five cleantech challenges launched by Natural Resources Canada as part of the Impact Canada Initiative. Challenges were co-developed with industry experts and stakeholders to attract a diverse range of problem solvers to generate breakthrough cleantech solutions to some of Canada’s biggest unsolved challenges. The Impact Canada challenge platform is part of a Government of Canada-wide effort to introduce innovative programming approaches to deliver meaningful results for Canadians. NRCan will invest $75 million over four years in five challenges: Women in Cleantech Challenge, Power Forward Challenge, Crush It! Challenge, The Sky’s the Limit Challenge and Indigenous Off-diesel Initiative.
