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 […]

Biological Co-fermentation of Carbon Dioxide and Methane to Malate
Industrial Microbes is developing a process to combine CO2 and natural gas into malate, a valuable organic compound used to manufacture biodegradable plastics and fibres. Malate is produced by natural enzymes inside living cells, similar to how alcohol is produced during beer brewing. In Industrial Microbes’ process, CO2 emissions from an oilsands operation or power […]

Bio-sourced asphalt from the Canadian forest industry
FPInnovations is developing a lignin-modified asphalt formulation suitable for the Canadian paving industry. For this project, the company plans to produce a lignin-modified hot mix asphalt that meets all performance requirements of road owners and asphalt producers. The process would reduce GHG emissions by replacing some of the non-renewable, fossil-based bitumen with renewable, bio-sourced lignin in asphalt production. […]

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 […]
