Scale-up of New Innovative Cleantech Hydrovac Waste Processing System
Hydrovac Waste Solutions (HWS) developed a cleantech process that transforms the waste products of hydrovac activities into raw materials for new cement. This novel recycling process separates hydrovac slurry into reusable water, landscape materials, and other raw value-added materials. It contributes to Alberta’s circular economy by keeping materials out of landfills while supporting economic activity…

Waste Characterization Study
Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gasses. It is 25 times more effective at trapping heat in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide. One of the main sources of methane emissions is from decomposing organic waste at landfill sites. Today, Alberta offset protocols for landfill emissions use calculations that are based on studies from…

Biocovers for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation from Landfills
Many Alberta municipalities are working toward solutions to address challenges associated with landfills. This project investigated the effectiveness of a solution proposed by TetraTech, that intended to reduce GHG emissions by taking a new approach to landfill covers. This project demonstrated the effectiveness of Evapotranspirative-Landfill Biocover (ETLBC) technology in Alberta, which is a hybrid of…
