Co-Locating Natural Gas and Indoor Agriculture for Alberta’s Future
Sustainitech proposed a demonstration of their Indoor framing complex powered by natural gas. This project was funded through ERA’s Natural Gas challenge, announced in 2020, and planned to utilize the technology to grow culinary herbs, reducing emissions through the fuel efficiency of the onsite natural gas generators. The funding relationship was ultimately cancelled in 2022.

Reducing the Energy and Emission Intensity of Producing a Barrel of Oil Sands Bitumen
The Jackfish waste heat recovery project aimed to increase the efficiency of the oil sands production process by utilizing waste heat. Funded through Round 6: Industrial Energy Efficiency, Devon Energy planned to install an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine, which can collect heat from lower temperature sources than the traditional steam turbine. The funding relationship
