C-FER Technologies supports operating companies and equipment vendors in applied research and development projects that address broad industry challenges.

Combining funding from multiple industry participants allows for cost-sharing of larger initiatives and brings broader industry experience to the table to help direct the project work. The industry funding can also often be leveraged with government funding to support the development of new infrastructure.

JIPs Can Include:

• Engineering reviews to identify best practices and technology gaps in current operations;
• Feasibility studies of implementing new technologies or procedures;
• Developing new standardized testing methods to help industry qualify equipment for new applications; and
• Developing new technologies or producing new engineering software tools to assist clients in their day-to-day operations.

C-FER has a variety of current JIPs that are open to new industry participants. Depending on the type of JIP, participants may be operating companies, equipment vendors, or industry/government groups. The roles and terms of participation vary for each JIP.
