The biggest share of the funding will go toward five projects for carbon capture, utilization and storage technology.

Two Saskatchewan organizations will receive a combined nearly $15 million through the funding to help design and understand carbon capture processes.

More than $9 million of the funding will go toward renewable energy projects, specifically in solar power.

The remainder of the money announced today will fund projects for smart grid technologies that aim to improve the efficiency of electricity flows.
