Demonstration and Implementation of an Innovative Nail-Laminated Timber (NLT) Foundation System for Housing
On average, over 35,000 new homes begin construction every year in Alberta, with concrete predominantly used for the foundations/basements of these buildings. Reducing embodied carbon has emerged recently as a vital new frontier in building decarbonisation. There is growing interests among leaders in architecture & design, manufacturing, and construction to use mass timber panels to…
RPMachine Fabrication and Demonstration
Resolve Plastic Recycling Ltd. (“RPR”) will build and demonstrate a novel technology for recycling and accelerate its development to commercial-ready. The RPMachine is a stand-alone plastics recycling technology (“PRT”) that is contained and operated in a shipping container or semi-trailer. The RPMachine employs a non-emitting process to convert 3 tonnes of waste plastic per hour…
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…
Recycling of hard to recycle PET clamshell materials into food grade packaging
Lignin Based Production of Hard Carbon for L-ion Battery (LIB) Anodes
Demand for electric batteries is increasing at unprecedented rates, driving demand for anode grade activated Hard Carbon (HC), a key component in several battery technologies, including L-ion Batteries (LIB). Without a North American source, North American based battery makers must import activated carbon from Asia, generating GHG emissions from transportation and creating a supply chain…
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…
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…
Carbon Reforming to Economic Additives for Transitioning into Emission-less era
The key objective of the CREATE project is to accelerate the development and commercialization of new carbon capture and utilization technology developed by a spin-off company, Carbonova Corp. (“Carbonova”), of the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. The technology converts waste heat and industrial CO2 streams into valuable products based on carbon nanofibers and will…
Skyonic SkyCycle™ Pilot Demonstration
At its core, Skyonic’s SkyCycle™ carbon capture technology uses waste-heat from the source — a CO2 emitting plant — to mineralize CO2 emissions from that same plant. SkyCycle™ uses a synthetic base to capture the mildly acidic CO2, and mineralizes it as a solid carbonate. The primary, profitable product from the proposed Canadian SkyCycle™ Plant…
