Government Grants + SR&ED for the Energy & Natural Resources Industry
Canadian organizations in the Energy & Natural Resources sector can unlock substantial government funding to support innovation, sustainability, process improvement, and workforce development. A key opportunity is Canada’s Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit program, which offers reimbursement of up to 42.3% of eligible R&D expenditures.
Projects that may qualify for SR&ED include:
- Developing new or improved extraction or drilling technologies
- Optimizing energy generation, transmission, or storage systems
- Reducing emissions through process redesign
- Testing new equipment in extreme environmental conditions
- Integrating systems to boost efficiency and resilience under technical uncertainty
At AM Saxum, we help energy and resource organizations identify eligible SR&ED activities, manage claims from start to finish, and secure additional government grants for training and innovation. With over 20 years of experience, a 96% approval rate, and $500 million+ in savings delivered to clients, we bring a proprietary SR&ED tracking system and a low-disruption model to ensure full compliance with minimal operational burden.

What Our Clients Say
FAQ
Does AM Saxum provide on-site Lean Six Sigma training and certification?
Yes — for businesses, not for individuals. We offer tailored on-site Lean Six Sigma training and certification programs exclusively for companies. Our training is designed to address real operational challenges within your organization and is delivered by experienced consultants with hands-on industry expertise. At this time, we do not offer individual or public courses for private learners.
What types of businesses can benefit from the government grants AM Saxum supports?
How long does it take to receive SR&ED funding?
The timeline can vary, but most businesses receive SR&ED refunds within 3 to 6 months of filing their claim. If your company is filing for the first time, or if the CRA requests additional documentation, processing may take slightly longer. AM Saxum streamlines this process by preparing strong, audit-ready claims that reduce the likelihood of delays.
Do you only work with large companies?
Not at all. We work with businesses of all sizes—from small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations. Whether you’re a growing business looking to scale more efficiently or a mature organization aiming to improve profitability, our Lean and funding strategies are customized to fit your size, structure, and goals.
How do I know if my business is eligible for SR&ED or other grants?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including your business structure, the nature of your activities, and your location. If you’re conducting R&D, developing new products, or revising existing ones, or implementing new processes, you may qualify. AM Saxum offers a free initial assessment to determine your eligibility and identify the best funding options.
