Heartland Waste to Energy with Carbon Capture Pre-FID Completion
VArme Eenrgy’s project is a waste-to-energy facility with integrated carbon capture and storage, located in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. This will be the commercial pilot demonstration phase of the project, following the completion of the pre-FEED study which will be conducted in conjunction with Worley Parsons. The waste-to-energy technology will be provided by Babcock & Wilcox…
Commercial Demonstration Facility
Calgary-based SixRing Inc is planning to construct a commercial demonstration facility in Lethbridge County to convert nature-based residues into sustainable industrial products, replacing comparable products produced via fossil fuels. The SixRing bioconversion process converts underutilized non-food biomass from forestry, agriculture and food processing, doing so at ambient conditions to unlock the value of biomass while…
Lacombe Biorefinery
Through its Lacombe Biorefinery project, BioRefinex aims to commercialize patented thermal hydrolysis technology that transforms animal waste into organic fertilizer and feedstock for renewable natural gas (RNG) production. BioRefinex aims to deploy this technology via completion of engineering design, construction, and operation of a $46 million biorefinery. The Lacombe Biorefinery facility will be located in…
Invigor Bioenergy – Technology Upgrade
Deployment of a retrofit of the former Kyoto Biofuels facility in Lethbridge, Alberta with a technology suite that will allow the plant to process local agricultural waste and other lower-quality waste feedstocks into a low-GHG biodiesel and crude glycerin.
An innovative and highly efficient microalgae-based carbon sequestration system to reduce CO2 emission and produce valuable byproducts including biofuels in all climates
The University of Maryland’s (U of M) technology integrates multiple breakthrough technologies that efficiently mitigate CO2 and other GHGs on an industrial scale. The technology uses a biological process that can work anywhere in the world, in any climate. At the same time, the technology provides the ability to generate additional revenue streams to fund…
Conversion of industrial CO2 emissions into biofuels and chemicals
In an effort to capture and utilize CO2 emitted from raw industrial flue gas, OakBio has developed a biomanufacturing platform that converts CO2 into chemicals at commercial scale. OakBio’s approach uses a novel microbial system to convert industrially emitted CO2 into bioplastics, animal feed and other chemicals. For the ERA Grand Challenge, Oakbio is partnering…
Development of a prototype for digestate water treatment and fertilizer value-add opportunity for on-farm feedlot anaerobic digestors (AD)
Rimrock Renewables Limited Partnership along with Rimrock Cattle Company Ltd. (Rimrock) are investing in a first of a kind, innovative system within the Agriculture and Agri-Food sector that is designed to produce value-ad fertilizer, peat, cattle bedding, and water recycle product for Alberta-based Greenhouses, Mushroom Farmers, Organic Farmers, Conventional Farmers, and Cattle Producers who are…
Hinton Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage Project
The Hinton Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BECCS) Project Study is led by Vault 44.01 in collaboration with West Fraser and TorchLight Bioresources. The study supports a project that would capture and store biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at West Fraser’s Hinton Pulp Mill site, permanently removing 1.3 million metric tonnes of CO2 from the…
New Production System
Korova is developing a new productive system that will serve as a model for other feedlots in Alberta. The new productive system involves the integration of Rolled Compacted Concrete (RCC) for pen floor surfacing and an onsite innovative Bio-Digestor (BD) technology to upgrade manure as a feedstock to produce Biomethane. This project is anticipated to achieve emission reductions…
The Conversion of Forestry Residue to Advanced Biofuels in Alberta
Steeper Energy’s Hydrofaction® technology employs proven, catalytic, supercritical water chemistry to convert waste biomass from forests and fields into Hydrofaction® Oil. This advanced bio-crude product is economically upgradeable into diesel or jet fuel using Steeper Energy’s multi-stage upgrading technologies. With minor modification, Hydrofaction® Oil can be co-processed with petroleum cuts in existing Alberta refineries, allowing…
