More incredible news for clean technology companies and workers in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour.
We just announced almost $3 million in contributions for multiple clean technology companies and organizations that are developing and promoting clean technology!
Companies in Dartmouth—Cole Harbour and across Atlantic Canada are developing ground-breaking clean technologies, and our government is here to support their efforts, every step of the way.
We are firmly committed to making strategic investments in our cleantech sector to protect the environment, increase access to international markets, and lay the groundwork for future economic success. These brilliant projects will protect the environment, decrease greenhouse gas emissions and save money, while allowing Canada to secure a foothold in the rapidly growing global clean tech market, creating jobs and investment opportunities.
Here are a couple clean tech company highlights:
Graphite Innovation and Technologies (GIT)
Has developed a sustainable, graphene-based marine coating that allows large ships to move more easily through the water. The low-friction coating reduces drag on the hull, allowing ships to maintain traditional speeds while significantly lowering fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This funding will support the company’s move into a state-of-the-art, carbon-neutral production facility in Dartmouth to better meet the worldwide demand for its products.
Rayleigh Solar Tech
Has developed a new kind of solar cell – a lightweight, flexible, adhesive film that can be applied to a variety of surfaces, and used in places where traditional rigid solar panels would be impractical. The funding announced today will allow the company to improve the efficiency and durability of its solar film, and develop a pilot product to explore various practical applications, such as providing power for electric vehicles.
