Project

Rare Earth Mineral Processing Pilot

Rare earth minerals are a key component of many clean technologies, including energy efficient electric motors, light-emitting diode (LED) lights and wind turbines. However, current methods used to mine and process rare earth minerals have repercussions on the natural environment. Quest Rare Minerals has developed a sustainable, energy-efficient process to extract rare earths from mined...


Project

FleetCarma Smart-Charging

The need to charge the increasing number of PEVs (the number of plug-in electric vehicles is expected to grow to more than 2.7M in 2023 compared to 296k in 2014) is putting pressure on electricity generation and distribution during peak power demand periods of the day. This pressure can be reduced if the PEVs are...


Project

High efficiency energy storage for electrical utility regulation/peaking

Globally, power generation and transmission systems are currently constrained by limited capacity, and, at peak loading, suffer from significant inefficiencies. This is driving strong demand for efficient and cost-effective storage solutions that are flexible and scalable. Shipstone is proposing to develop and demonstrate a highly flexible, modular, scalable, fast response and efficient compression technology useful...


Project

Concrete Carbonation Curing Technology Demonstration

CarbonCure Technologies Inc. has developed universal retrofit technologies that utilize waste CO2 in concrete production. Concrete blocks are produced with CO2 that is permanently stored in the building material as solid limestone. Ready mixed concrete can be produced with reduced cement loadings in response to a strength enhancement associated with an optimal dose of CO2....


Project

Distributed Grid-Scale Energy Storage

Fast changes in power output from a wind farm can add megawatts of power in a matter of seconds and induce significant voltage spikes and sags. These rapid fluctuations lead to challenges in regulating voltage and power quality on distribution lines. Temporal Power Ltd. and Hydro One Networks are working to demonstrate how an innovative...


Project

Atlantec Ethanol Biorefinery

Atlantec BioEnergy Corp. will build a 300,000 litres per year pilot scale ethanol biorefinery in Atlantic Canada, using locally grown sugar beets as the main feedstock. The plant will feature an integrated anaerobic digester, generator set, and nutrient refinery. This first in the world design configuration will result in a net energy neutral and process...


Project

Production of Micronized Sulphur as a Sprayable Fertilizer

Sultech has developed a process that can micronize Sulphur. Their product, Sulgro, is thus easier to mix, spray/spread, can be absorbed by plants the year it is applied, and does not wash away during storms or floods. Sultech will demsontrate its production process technology at a pre-commercial plant located in Calgary, Alberta.


Project

Ultra-High Temperature Optical Pressure Transducers for Gas Turbine Engines

Fibos has developed a natural gas turbine sensor capable of providing highly accurate, real-time pressure and temperature measurements. The sensors provide fuel-saving benefits for turbines in both the aviation and power generation industry by leveraging data that enables adaptive control of the turbines. The demonstration will take place at GE Aviation's Cincinnati, Ohio test facility.


Project

Zero Emissions Natural Gas Compressor

E3P has developed a compact, zero emissions compressor. The technology will be able to eliminate nearly all methane leaks typically associated with well-site natural gas compression. E3P will demonstrate the compressor at a natural gas production site in Medicine Hat, Alberta.


Project

XLOAD Sensor for High Accuracy Rail Tank Car Contents

Transrail has developed an electronic sensor, XLOAD, capable of measuring the valume of a commodity inside a rail tank car. The XLOAD will eliminate the incumbent process, which is time consuming and highly toxic to workers, and provide efficiency savings for the industry. The demonstration will take place at a loading terminal in Alberta.
