The CAD$35 million CCEMC Grand Challenge: Innovative Carbon Uses is a global quest to turn carbon emissions into a valuable resource. The Climate Change and Emissions Management (CCEMC) Corporation is seeking innovative ideas from around the world that will create new, carbon-based products and markets.

The deadline to submit a brief, non-confidential proposal has been extended to July 31, 2013. Based on these brief submissions, a select group of participants will be invited to submit a complete and comprehensive proposal in Fall 2013. Up to 20 of those proposals will be selected for CAN$500,000 funding in seed grants. Complete information about the process, schedule, and awards is available at the website.

Get answers to your questions live from the sponsors! CCEMC and NineSigma will hold a question-and-answer (Q&A) webinar on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 3:30pmET. Register for this event here.
