NGIFAccelerator
A startup accelerator that advances clean technology development and industry validation through field trials and pilot demonstrations to accelerate market commercialization.
OVERVIEW
NGIF Accelerator is the not-for-profit arm of NGIF Capital and operates all technology and innovation programs. The NGIF Accelerator mandate is to de-risk and accelerate technology development by supporting startups through their pilot projects, field trials, and industry validation.
NGIF Accelerator will coordinate with federal and provincial governments to co-fund projects to advance market commercialization. NGIF Accelerator currently operates the Industry Grants Program and the Emissions Testing Centre Program.
Industry Grants Program: is industry-led and offers non-dilutive grants to fund early-stage startups for technology development and field demonstration. The program specifically de-risks pre-commercial technology solutions that have the potential to increase the environmental performance of the natural gas sector. Each project in the program will accelerate technology readiness level progressions through controlled pilot testing and field trials to advance commercialization. The Industry Grants Program is operated by the NGIF Accelerator. Learn more here: Industry Grants Program
NGIF Emissions Testing Centre (ETC) Program: is a technology and innovation program for the gaseous energy sector. The program is industry and government-led and will see emissions detection, quantification, and reductions through multiple tech startup validation, while also creating benchmarking data and a research talent pool for the natural gas industry. This is done through two program hosts including Tourmaline Oil and Perpetual Energy’s West Wolf Lake Gas Process Plant instrumented for live testing and University of Calgary Research Centre laboratories instrumented for simulation testing. The NGIF ETC Program is operated by the NGIF Accelerator. Learn more here: NGIF ETC Program
