SR&ED for Clean Technology
Clean tech companies tackling the hardest problems in energy and sustainability are doing exactly the kind of work SR&ED was designed to reward — and Bill C-15 makes it more valuable than ever.
Check If Your Work QualifiesWhat Qualifies in Clean Technology?
- Renewable energy system design where novel configurations or performance targets involve technological uncertainty
- Battery chemistry and storage innovation: new electrode materials, electrolyte formulations, or cycle-life improvement
- Emissions reduction process development: novel catalysts, scrubbing systems, or combustion processes
- Sustainable materials research: bio-based alternatives, recyclable composites, or low-carbon manufacturing inputs
- Carbon capture technology: direct air capture systems, mineralization methods, or novel sorbent materials
- Clean hydrogen production methods: electrolysis efficiency improvements, novel catalysts, or storage solutions
How Bill C-15 (2026) Affects Clean Technology
Capital equipment eligibility restoration is transformative for clean tech — lab apparatus, testing rigs, and specialized equipment acquired after December 15, 2024 are now claimable. Clean tech companies that also qualify for Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits under Bill C-15 can stack these with SR&ED for maximum benefit.
