Project

Demonstration of Biomethane Liquefaction for use as a Transportation Fuel

Sysgaz has developed a technology that transforms methane gas collected from landfills into renewable liquefied natural gas (RLNG). This RLNG could become an important source of energy for the transportation sector in the near term. Sysgaz’s unique approach integrates three technologies into a single integrated process. These include a proprietary landfill gas capture system, an...


Project

Low-Cost High-Quality Graphene from Graphite

At one atom thin, graphene is lighter and stronger than steel, more electrically conductive than copper or silver, and is much sought after for its unique ability to store either hydrogen or electrons. In fact, its discovery in 2004 led to a 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. In short, this is an impressive natural material...


Project

Development of High Performance Lithium Ion Battery Modules for Electric Buses and Other Heavy Duty Vehicles

Not far behind electric car usage, electric buses, trucks and commercial vehicles are on the cusp of widespread adoption. Electric heavy-duty and commercial vehicle usage is anticipated to rapidly increase as a number of countries focus on driving down pollution and the use of fossil fuels. Electrovaya Corp. is proposing to design, develop and build...


Project

Electro-Kinetic Reclamation of Oil Sands Tailings Development and Field Demonstration

The oil sands extraction process can result in tailings ponds, bodies of water filled with a mixture of water, clay, sand and residual bitumen. Electro-Kinetic Solutions (EKS) will demonstrate their low-current, electrode array, which will apply an electric field to separate water from oil sands tailings and simultaneously compact the solids. The technology has the...


Project

Scaling-up Magnesium Production from Asbestos Tailings

Building on their successful pilot plant in Quebec, Alliance Magnesium is embarking on the second phase of demonstrating their innovative magnesium production technology. The process, which produces magnesium metal from tailings left over by mining activity, provides significant environmental benefits when compared to traditional production methods. The Alliance Magnesium process reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,...


Project

Leveraging Sensor Integration & Data Science for Optimizing Mine Sustainability

MineSense Technology Ltd’s sensor, software and data analytics technology will improve the economics and environmental impact of existing and planned mines by making the mining process more efficient, increasing the amount of ore recovered and even potentially extending the life of a mine. The MineSense system provides precise measurement of the ore quality at the...


Project

eMVAPEX Phase 3 Pre-commercial Field Demonstration

MEG Energy Corp. (MEG) is an Alberta company focused on sustainable in situ oil sands development and production in the southern Athabasca oil sands region of Alberta. For long-term success, MEG uses innovation to lower the cost and GHG emission intensity of bitumen production. Steam generation is the main contributor to GHG emissions, water consumption...


Project

Membrane Technology for Cost-Effective Clean Energy Systems

Ionomr Innovation Inc.’s AemionTM is an advanced Ion-exchange membrane technology that requires up to 90% less energy and is more cost-effective to produce, while offering a significant increase in durability over incumbent materials. AemionTM also offers a non-toxic alternative to legacy membrane solutions, which are environmentally damaging to produce and in their disposal. Ion-exchange membranes...


Project

Development of a Next-Generation Commercial Quantum Computer

Faster, more powerful, computing systems continue to be a requirement across every industry. As traditional systems increase in performance, power consumption increases as well. Unlike traditional supercomputers that generate massive amounts of heat and require huge amounts of power, D-Wave’s quantum computing systems are based on superconducting electronics that do not dissipate heat and require...


Project

Demonstration plant to produce high purity alumina using an environmentally-responsible process

With the support of SDTC, Yava Alumina Inc. (Yava) is constructing a demonstration plant as the next step in the commercialization of its process to produce high purity alumina (HPA) using less energy and at less expense. HPA is used to produce high strength glass that is used in the manufacture of smart phones, separators...
