I like the sound of this:

Memorandum of Understanding: Alberta – Canada Collaboratory on Clean Energy Research and Technology

https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/publications/19353


Deliverables Short-Term (2017-2018 and 2018-2019): Collaborative funding of up to four projects as per Flagship Initiatives, Annex IV.
Some recent achievements are: NRCan’s $50 million Oil and Gas Cleantech Demonstration fund under the Energy Innovation Program is an example of collaborating on funding. It is anticipated that this program will fund collaborative projects with InnoTech Alberta. AI has assisted NRCan in the application process and Government of Alberta will co-fund projects. Four demonstration projects: (NRCan: $36M and AI: $8.4M) - Three advanced recovery processes (two solvent processes, and one direct steam generation) and one partial upgrading.
Two front end engineering design (FEED) studies: (NRCan: $3.9M and AI: $1.1M (one on bitumen partial upgrading and another on in-situ H2 production)

Two of the four demonstration projects have AI funding approval already and other four (two demonstration projects and two FEED studies) are being evaluated.

Alberta Innovates and CanmetEnergy – Devon have developed a National Partial Upgrading Program (NPUP) with six oil sands companies. The first field demonstration project from NPUP has been initiated.
SDTC and ERA: SDTC and ERA held a joint funding call in early 2016. This initiative will award up to $40M to small and medium-sized enterprises across Canada to develop GHG reducing technologies that are deployable in Alberta
SDTC and AI: SDTC and AI held a joint funding call in early 2016. This initiative will award up to $8M towards clean water projects.

Carbon Commercialization Centre: The proposed Carbon Commercialization Centre presents a model where industry, innovators, researchers and government can collaborate to develop and de-risk transformational carbon utilization technologies. This work will begin with the Alberta’s ERA Grand Challenge and the internationally recognized, industry-sponsored Carbon XPRIZE – but it will continue well beyond 2020 as technologies continue to be developed in this rapidly growing and global area of innovation. GoA (Alberta Climate Change Office) and NRCan to each contribute $10M to construct the proposed Centre. AI will operate the facility on behalf of the GoA.
