Transformation of CO2 to Valuable Carbon Nanotube Composites
Carbon Corp’s technology transforms CO2 into carbon nanotubes (CNT). CNTs have widespread use with applications in concrete, graphene, construction material, batteries, consumer electronics, wind turbines, aircrafts, automobiles, and more. Carbon Corp is operating a pilot plant in Calgary at the ACCTC to validate the technology at commercial scale. Edmonton-based Capital Power, an investor in CARBON […]

Carbon Nanoplatelet Production from Exhaust CO2 Emissions
Carbon Upcycling Technologies uses CO2 emissions to create nanoparticles that enhance everyday materials like concrete, plastics, and batteries. The Calgary-based start-up has identified over 10 different applications across various market sectors. They are one of four Canadian companies in the finals of the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, establishing them as one of the top carbon […]

Carbon dioxide utilization in concrete
CarbonCure Technologies injects CO2 into concrete to sequester the carbon and improve the concrete’s performance. The retro-fit technology bolts on to existing concrete plants, and allows concrete producers to sequester carbon dioxide emissions directly into concrete, while also making the concrete stronger, and less expensive to manufacture. CarbonCure has already started to commercially deploy the […]

CO2 to Graphene Reactors
Carbon Upcycling Technologies, previously JRE Petroleum Services, has developed a technology the captures CO2, combines it with graphite and converts it into graphene. The technology required is small and easily implemented by producers with high CO2 emissions from a variety of industries. The graphene product created from the process is a brand new family of […]

Use of Carbon Dioxide in Making Carbonate-Bond Precast Concrete Products
Carbonation in the cement of concrete products is readily available. McGill’s process builds on that process and uses CO2 to produce an artificial aggregate to be used in the concrete. Because of the unique properties of carbonated concrete, the end product is stronger and more durable than traditional concrete products. This process can be deployed […]
