Funding will support technologies that lower emissions and transform industries
EDMONTON, AB – Today, Emissions Reduction Alberta announced up to $3 million in funding to the Clean Energy Transition Partnerships (CETP) Joint Call 2025. CETP is a transnational initiative for joint research, technological development, and innovation programming to pool funds and accelerate various technologies and system solutions.
ERA funding is sourced from the Government of Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund. This is the third Joint Call ERA has participated in with CETP. Funding is pooled together to support selected projects, covering a broad variety of technologies and system solutions required to make the green transition.
ERA funding will focus on energy system flexibility; carbon capture, utilization, and storage; hydrogen and other renewable fuels, and efficient heating and cooling technologies.
“This partnership reflects ERA’s ongoing commitment to international collaboration. By working across borders, sectors, and oceans, we can share knowledge, scale innovation, and accelerate progress. Partnerships like this one are essential to tackling global challenges together.”
Justin Riemer, CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta
Project proposals require a consortium consisting of at least three eligible applicants from at least three separate countries or regions participating in Joint Call 2025. Submissions for pre-proposals are due October 9, 2025, 14:00 (CEST). Funding is available for projects at the technology scale-up, field pilot, commercial demonstration, or commercial implementation stages.
ERA joined CETP in January 2022. CETP collaborates with funding partners within and beyond Europe to broaden the global knowledge and experience base and introduce European solutions and stakeholders to global value chains. The initiative enables 50 national and regional RTDI funding partners from 30 countries to align on priorities, pool budgets, and implement annual calls until 2027.
