REGINA — The Government of Saskatchewan’s Technology Fund is making $50 million available to help Saskatchewan industries reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. 

A second intake into the program has been announced.

During the first intake, the Technology Fund provided more than $25 million to 13 projects, which are projected to reduce more than 4.5 million tonnes of CO2e emissions, attract approximately $277 million in private-sector investment and unlock nearly five million gigajoules of energy savings. Successful proposals from the first intake included projects from Whitecap Resources Inc. and Batex. 

"Whitecap is deeply grateful to the Saskatchewan government for their invaluable support and funding for our proposed gas conservation project in the Swift Current area," Whitecap Resources Inc. Operations Manager Bradley Jennings said. 

"This investment, through the first intake of the provincial Technology Fund, reflects a strong commitment to reducing emissions while fostering economic growth. By driving sustainability and creating opportunities, this initiative demonstrates how environmental responsibility and economic prosperity can go hand in hand."

"Baytex greatly appreciates the efforts of the Government of Saskatchewan to engage and collaborate on pragmatic and meaningful efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions," Baytex Director of Sustainability & Business Intelligence Laureen Luross said.

"The Saskatchewan Technology Fund grant we have received supports our investment in activities designed to reduce GHG and methane emission from our operations. We look forward to continuing this productive relationship into the future."

The second intake will provide opportunities for industries to take advantage of the program to implement cutting-edge projects that reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency and ensure industries and jobs stay in Saskatchewan.

Successful applicants who pass the expressions of interest phase will be invited to submit full project proposals. The project proposals will be evaluated by third-party technical and financial experts for emissions reductions, technical and financial feasibility and potential environmental and socio-economic benefits. Projects selected for funding will be announced later in 2025. Regulated emitters interested in applying can visit for details on eligibility and application guidelines.
