Exhibit 1.15—Examples of Sustainable Development Technology Canada's approved projects
The Foundation's portfolio of approved climate change projects covers a wide range of Canada's primary economic sectors, including agriculture, oil and gas, forestry, transportation, and waste management.
For example, one project will demonstrate an "on-demand" reusable liquid foam insulation system that fills a cavity between two layers of clear plastic film in transparent structures such as greenhouses to reduce the amount of fossil fuels used for heating.
Another project involves technology that processes and transforms organic waste such as cattle manure into energy, fertilizer, and reusable water for irrigation, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts.
