Deadline: 14-Jul-22
The Scotiabank is accepting applications for its Net Zero Research Fund.
As part of its continued efforts to combat climate change, Scotiabank has expanded its Net Zero Research Fund to $10 Million (CAD) to advance partnerships with leading think-tanks and academic institutions that are supporting key sectors in their efforts to decarbonize.
Themes
Successful proposals may focus on, but are not limited to, one or more of the following themes below:
Detailing of potential pathways for decarbonization:
On a national economy (e.g. Chile) or substantive sub-national economy (Province of Quebec) basis, across industrial economic sectors
On an individual industrial or economic sector basis (e.g., mining, cement, steel, built environment), across systems, processes, materials, etc.
Identification and quantification of novel carbon sinks (sources of carbon sequestration) and specific mechanisms for carbon removal
Emerging and innovative financing mechanisms to support acceleration of decarbonization efforts
Public policy and/or regulatory changes required to enable or facilitate more rapid decarbonization
Areas of innovation that need to be better understood or funded to accelerate decarbonization pathways
Levers for increasing consumer or industrial demand for drastically lower / zero carbon technologies
