At Ayming, we support you as a dedicated R&D and direct funding partner. Our experts help you uncover and capitalize on hidden opportunities to drive impactful, sustainable growth.
Environmental & Energy
Addressing the key challenges
Innovation in the environmental and energy space is no longer optional, it’s a necessity. As net-zero targets tighten and climate policies evolve, organizations face growing pressure to accelerate the development and deployment of cleaner, smarter, and more efficient technologies. While this transition presents significant challenges, it also opens doors to valuable funding opportunities.
Common technical challenges include:
- Feedstock variability, which impacts reactor stability and energy production, particularly in anaerobic digestion and biomass conversion.
- Microbial imbalances and inhibitors that disrupt biological treatment systems, requiring experimentation with microbial consortia, pH, temperature, or pre-treatment methods.
- Scale-up risks, where processes proven at lab or pilot scale encounter unexpected failures or inefficiencies at commercial scale.
- Constantly evolving environmental regulations, which drive ongoing development of emissions control technologies like carbon capture, flue gas treatment, and gas purification systems.
Many of the necessary R&D activities; experimentation, testing, and iterative design, not only qualify for SR&ED tax credits but also position companies to access a broad range of government grants, low-interest loans, and cost-sharing programs. These funding initiatives prioritize high-impact projects that demonstrate clear technical merit, measurable environmental benefits, and strong alignment with national and regional sustainability goals.
Support is available for projects at various stages, from advancing pilot-scale innovations and expanding commercial deployments to retrofitting existing infrastructure. Successfully securing such funding requires more than just innovation. It demands a strategic, evidence-based approach to planning, tracking, and documenting experimental work that aligns closely with overarching provincial and national policy objectives.
That’s where Ayming brings lasting value. Helping you navigate the complexities of government funding to accelerate your path toward a greener, more sustainable future.
How we can help maximize your results
We help you identify and capture all eligible SR&ED activities embedded in your daily innovation processes. From optimizing microbial systems and managing feedstock variability to scaling waste-to-energy technologies and advancing hydrogen storage solutions.
