Canada’s natural resources minister, Tim Hodgson, is doling out federal money for a series of carbon capture and renewable energy projects across Canada.

Two Saskatchewan organizations are to receive a combined nearly $15 million dollars from the federal government to design and understand carbon capture processes.

The funding is coming from Canada’s Energy Innovation Program, which Ottawa says promotes clean tech and looks to keep Canadian energy reliable and competitive.

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