Ultrasonic detection of early-stage greenhouse gas leaks in industrial refrigerant systems
Commercial refrigeration and space cooling technologies currently account for approximately 10% of global GHG emissions, a figure expected to rise sharply over the coming decades as the climate warms and developing countries adopt cooling technologies. Ultracoustics Technologies Ltd. has developed an ultrasonic leak detection system, capable of identifying refrigerant leaks earlier than existing solutions. By…

Millennium Place Recreation Centre Hydrogen Combined Heat and Power – Path to Net Zero
Strathcona County and ATCO Gas are collaborating to revolutionize energy consumption at the Millennium Place Recreation Centre. Their joint project aims to continue the decarbonization of the facility by introducing a cutting-edge hydrogen-fueled combined heat and power (CHP) system.The project involves installing a hydrogen fueled CHP system at Millennium Place, which will simultaneously generate electricity…
A coupled solar photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) – ground source heat pump system for space heating and cooling in a multi-family complex
Although GeoExchange has been done before, what is unique about TELSEC’s proposal is that they will install 2 sets of piping in each of 100 holes. One set of piping will be used for the heating and cooling of the building, the other will be used to circulate a fluid through a total of 200…
Low-Carbon District Heating
Calgary District Heating Inc’s (CDHI’s) First-of-Kind Commercial Implementation for the Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) Industrial Transformation Challenge involves the installation of new electric boiler capacity to generate industrial heat, expansion of the facility’s electrical infrastructure, procurement of emissions-free solar electricity, and the integration of thermal energy storage. The Project will involve the purchase, installation, and…
Beta Testing of EOS Technology
Mariner Partners is leading the development of data analytics and process automation to improve the energy efficiency of large commercial buildings. Large buildings have complex systems to manage heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and other building functions. Mariner Partners’ Energy Optimization Software (EOS) reduces GHG emissions and energy costs by optimizing the way building conditions are…
The future generation of low-carbon concrete: Upcycling CO2 and legacy fly ash to make high-performance, sustainable cement
Did you know that cement and concrete production is responsible for 8% of annual global CO2 emissions? To help lower the carbon footprint of the cement and concrete industry, Carbon Upcycling Technologies has developed a technology that can upcycle various landfilled industrial by-products or underutilized natural minerals into high-performance replacements for cement (the most carbon…
Greenest Natural Gas-Powered Quad-generation with a 41% GHG Reduction
Enersion Incorporation, along with two other Canadian companies, aim to co-develop and demonstrate a green and cost saving quad-generation system that produces Electricity, Cooling, Heating and CO2 in one integrated package for Current Prairie Fishermen Corporation, a fish farm in Nobleford, Alberta. The cornerstone of this system integration is the Enersion new green cooling technology…
Demonstration of Thermally Driven Heat Pumps for Residential Heating Applications
Stone Mountain Technologies and Napoleon are working to commercialize their Thermally Driven Heat Pump (TDHP) technology, which uses natural gas to drive a heat pump cycle, delivering multiple units of heat for every unit of gas consumed. The technology enables direct emission savings through immediate reduction of natural gas consumption for the same amount of…
Netzero homes incorporating home efficiency and solar
Homeowners consume 19% of the natural gas and 16% of electricity used by Albertans. Even small improvements to energy efficiency can mean big reductions in GHG emissions. In the case of new homes, total improvements can represent as much as 40% of the total. The best way to create energy efficient houses is to build…
