Lehigh Edmonton Alternative Low Carbon Fuel Project
Lehigh Hanson (Lehigh) operates a portland cement manufacturing plant in Edmonton. Lehigh currently uses coal and natural gas to fire a rotary kiln at the Edmonton plant to convert limestone, clay, and other minerals into clinker, the precursor to portland cement. Portland cement is used to make concrete, the most common building material in the

Linde LNG Low Carbon Fuels Demonstration Project
This demonstration project will deliver LNG to Alberta customers with a wells to wheels carbon intensity of under 62 g CO2 e/MJ in comparison to diesel fuel with a Canadian average carbon intensity of 100 g CO2e/MJ. The project is aligned with the objectives of the new Canadian Clean Fuel Standard and reduced carbon taxes

Advanced Dual-Fuel System Commercial Demonstration
Displacing 50 per cent of Diesel Fuel with Dual-Fuel Technology Funded through ERA #5: Natural Gas Challenge in 2020, this project successfully validated Innovative Fuel Systems’ dual-fuel (diesel and compressed natural gas) technology equipment in the heavy-duty trucking industry. This technology allows existing heavy-duty diesel engines to displace up to 50 per cent diesel fuel

Lower Carbon Fuels Project
This Low Carbon Fuels project involves switching from using natural gas at Lafarge’s Exshawplant to using waste-derived fuels that would otherwise end up in landfills. Technologies for fuel handling, processing, and injection will be installed at the site to replace 50 per cent of its natural gas use. The implementation at Exshaw will be supported

Cement Industry Low Carbon Fuel Implementation
Reducing Emissions in the Cement Industry The cement industry is a large emitter of carbon dioxide, accounting for nearly eight per cent of global emissions, and this research, funded through ERA’s Biological and Adaptation Program in 2017, provided a framework for replacing high-carbon intensity fuels with alternative low-carbon fuels (ALCFs), such as waste streams, in

Controller systems to utilize up to 50% NG with diesel in vehicles
Technology added to improve Emissions from heavy-duty diesel engines In this project, Hi-Tec Fuel and Auto Ltd. demonstrated their dual fuel technology, a conversion technology system that is added to an existing heavy-duty vehicle diesel engine. The demonstration, funded through Round 5: Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in 2012, confirmed this technology’s effectiveness and helped
