A Solutions-Focused Mediator The NRTEE has been focused on sustaining Canada’s prosperity without borrowing resources from future generations or compromising their ability to live securely. Our mission is to generate and promote sustainable development solutions to advance Canada’s environmental and economic interests simultaneously, through the development of innovative policy research and advice. We accomplish that mission by fostering sound and well-researched reports on priority issues and by offering advice to governments on how best to reconcile the often divergent challenges of economic prosperity and environmental conservation. A Unique Convener The NRTEE brings together a group of distinguished sustainability leaders active in businesses, universities, environmental groups, labour, public policy, and Aboriginal communities across Canada. Our members are appointed by the federal government for a mandate of up to three years. They meet in a round table format that offers a safe haven for discussion and encourages the unfettered exchange of ideas leading to consensus. This is how we reconcile positions that have traditionally been at odds. A Trusted Coalition-Builder We also reach out to expert organizations, industries and individuals that share our vision for sustainable development. These partners help spark our creativity, challenge our thinking, keep us grounded in reality, and help generate the momentum needed for success. An Impartial Catalyst of Change The NRTEE is in the unique position of being an independent policy advisory agency that advises the federal government on sustainable development solutions. We raise awareness among Canadians and their governments about the challenges of sustainable development. We advocate for positive change. We strive to promote credible and impartial policy solutions that are in the best interest of all Canadians. A National and International Leading Force We are also at the forefront of a prospective new international research network that will bring together some of the world’s most renowned sustainability research institutes. This will build our research and capacity, give us access to new thinking and proven solutions in other countries that could benefit Canada. Armed with a proven track-record in generating environment and economic solutions, we now seek to use our influence and credibility to move forward Canada’s environmental and economic priorities in concert with the world. An Independent Leader The NRTEE Act enforces the independent nature of the Round Table and its work. The President and CEO is accountable to Parliament and reports, at this time, through the Minister of the Environment. The NRTEE is not an agency of Environment Canada or any other federal government department, but its estimates and reporting obligations are included within the broader environmental portfolio of government.

10.3 Sustainable Development Technology Canada: About Us

Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) is an arm’s-length foundation which has received $1.05 billion from the Government of Canada as part of its commitment to create a healthy environment and a high quality of life for all Canadians. SDTC operates two funds aimed at the development and demonstration of innovative technological solutions. The $550 million SD Tech Fund™ supports projects that address climate change, air quality, clean water, and clean soil. The $500 million NextGen Biofuels Fund™ supports the establishment of first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities for the production of next-generation renewable fuels. WE MEET THE NEED Canada has significant potential to develop and use clean technologies. This is indicated by the activity we have seen. Since 2002, the SD Tech Fund has received 1,497 applications from groups comprised of 4,425 companies and institutions, with total requested funding exceeding $3.5 billion for technologies in 57 different categories. We have heard from applicants in every province and two territories. The benefits extend to all Canadians and around the world. Clean technologies contribute to the economy both domestically and internationally, increasing productivity and competitiveness of industry while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. We bridge the gap in the innovation chain. SDTC helps bring new technologies to market by supporting them through the critical phase of pre-commercialization. Private sector capital does not extend to this costly, high-risk stage, creating a funding and capacity gap. The SD Tech Fund is building the backbone of a clean tech infrastructure in Canada. By funding groups of companies (consortia) that represent all elements of a technology’s supply chain, we help develop practical solutions that are more likely to attain market success. WHAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED SDTC has achieved tangible early results. In 2005, we saw the successful completion of seven projects where technologies met their performance requirements, exceeding typical success rates. In 2006 and 2007, respectively two and seven more projects were successfully completed. Our projects achieve multiple goals at once. We recognize that clean air, climate change, clean water and/or clean soil are inextricably linked. That’s why 88% of our SD Tech Fund portfolio combines these benefits in some way. We have a broad economic impact. In six years, we have selected 155 projects proposing technology solutions for major economic sectors of Canada: Energy Exploration and Production; Power Generation; Industrial, Commercial and Residential Energy Utilization; Transportation; Agriculture; Forestry and Wood Products; and Waste Management. The SD Tech Fund has achieved substantial leveraging of its funds. We have placed $383M over thirteen rounds of funding. This has been leveraged by $928M from consortia members, with 83 percent of that from industry (a strong indication that industry supports our model). Our contributions range from $153K to $13.9M in projects whose total eligible costs range from $332K to $49M. WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE We are accountable. We report to Parliament through the Minister of Natural Resources and make our Annual Report, Annual Report Supplement, and Corporate Plan – Executive Summary available to the public through our website and at our Annual Public meeting. We have adopted best practices through our Corporate Performance Evaluation Plan, and have successfully completed compliance audits.
