Canada’s environmental and energy sectors are evolving rapidly. Whether it’s optimizing anaerobic digesters, reducing GHG emissions, or scaling up renewable energy systems, companies are under pressure to meet stricter regulations, improve performance, and drive sustainable innovation, all while staying competitive.
What many companies don’t realize is that the technical problem-solving required to get there is often eligible for SR&ED tax credits, unlocking tens or even hundreds of thousands in refundable government support.
At Ayming Canada, we specialize in helping environmental innovators identify and claim this hidden value.
Where R&D is happening in clean energy & waste reduction
From biomass to bioenergy, the real innovation often lies not in brand-new inventions, but in refining and optimizing existing processes under complex, variable conditions. Consider:
- Adjusting anaerobic digestion systems to handle high-fat or inconsistent waste streams
- Experimenting with microbial populations to improve gas yields and stability
- Dealing with thermal imbalances, system inhibitors, and scaling issues during commercialization
- Developing bio-based technologies or systems that reduce emissions, waste, and energy consumption
These are not just routine operational adjustments, they often require experimentation, technical uncertainty, and hypothesis-driven investigation, all of which are core SR&ED eligibility criteria.
Over $300,000 secured in SR&ED
One environmental services company faced challenges optimizing methane production from organic waste due to feedstock variability. By experimenting with nutrient dosing, microbial blends, and process controls, they gradually increased energy yield but never viewed this as “R&D.”
We helped them recognize the work as SR&ED-eligible and structured their documentation to capture everything. The result? Over $300,000 in SR&ED refunds across three years.
Why partner with Ayming Canada?
Most consulting firms can file a claim but at Ayming, we go far beyond just paperwork. We become a strategic partner in your innovation journey by:
- Uncovering hidden SR&ED projects buried in your everyday operations
- Training your teams to spot and document eligible work
- Building sustainable documentation systems so you’re claim-ready year-round
- Pairing SR&ED with grants, loans, and other government programs for maximum funding impact
We’ve helped clients in the environmental and renewable energy sectors secure millions in non-dilutive funding, unlocking resources to invest back into clean technology and growth.
