Mitigating Remote Power Diesel Generator Emissions: A Sustainable Approach
Graph Energy, alongside Phoenix Energy Services and Caledonian Midstream Corp., is spearheading a project to innovate energy storage in Alberta’s energy systems, targeting remote communities and industries. Aligned with national goals, this initiative aims to drastically reduce GHG emissions and fossil fuel use, focusing on natural gas and diesel generators. Central to this are two…
Heavy-Duty Hydrogen Fueling Station in Alberta Transport Corridor
To help build Alberta’s hydrogen ecosystem, HTEC will design, build, own, and operate a first-of-kind permanent hydrogen refueling station. This project plays a significant role in addressing limited hydrogen fueling options in the province and connects Alberta’s abundant hydrogen production to vehicles and end-users. Located on Highway 2 in Crossfield – a busy transportation route…
A innovative virtual power plant solution to reshape Alberta Electricity Grid and enable the widespread adoption of renewable energy and high energy-tier buildings
Energy storage system (ESS) has long been seen as the missing link between intermittent renewable power and constant reliability. And a network of storage systems that are interconnected through a central control, i.e. Virtual Power Plant (VPP), can play a broader role in the energy transition by smartly control the power consumption and generation to…
Launching the GoVAC® MAX System in Alberta
When natural gas pipeline operators perform maintenance operations, upgrade pipelines, remove pipelines from service, or conduct pigging operations, the segment of pipeline being worked on must be evacuated of the natural gas prior to commencing work. Too often this natural gas is simply released, or vented, releasing methane into the atmosphere. Another common practice is…
Fluiditi Storage Project: Enabling Renewables & Offsetting GHG Emissions
Thousands of megawatts of new renewable generation projects are proposed and in the interconnection queue. That, combined with the challenges facing carbon emitting thermal generation, will require a significant amount of new storage projects to support the Alberta grid and reduce GHG emissions. TERIC Power’s Fluiditi Battery Storage Project is a commercially innovative battery storage…
Assessing Site and Distribution Infrastructure from Transitioning a Thermal Power Plant to an SMR
A reduction in fossil fuel power generation is required in Alberta as Canada and countries around the world accept the challenge to decarbonize their economies, meet climate change targets, and increase the reliability and resiliency of their energy generation assets and systems. X-energy’s Xe-100 small modular reactor (SMR) is a versatile, emissions-free, nuclear fission solution…
Agrivoltaics Research Park
Solartility to Establish Agrivoltaics Research Facility in Collaboration with the University of Calgary. Solartility is advancing a collaborative effort with the University of Calgary to establish an innovative Agrivoltaics Research Facility in Alberta. Anticipated to commence operations next year, the initiative has secured support from the Government of Alberta and Emissions Reduction Alberta. The Research…
Field Validation for In-situ Upgrading Technology (ISUT™)
NanosTech’s In-Situ Upgrading Technology (ISUT™) is a novel, patented nanocatalyst process that improves upon existing oil recovery methods while simultaneously enhancing the quality of the sales of oil. ISUT™ empowers heavy oil producers to increase both their environmental performance and economic returns. ISUT™ provides enhanced oil recovery, by both increasing production rates by up to…
WaterCharger Battery Storage Project
WaterCharger is a proposed 180 MW/180 MWh Battery Energy Storage System located in the province of Alberta currently under development. WaterCharger is expected to be the largest battery energy storage project in Alberta and will enhance the reliability and sustainability of the Alberta electrical grid. The project will utilize lithium iron phosphate battery technology to…
Materials and Methods to Manufacture Carbon Fibers from Petroleum Asphaltenes
With ~180 billion barrels of bitumen reserves in Alberta, a considerable amount of asphaltenes (~17 wt%) are present within them. Asphaltenes, being highly carbon-rich by-products, hold great promise to serve as a cheap feedstock for a wide variety of non-combustible, high-value products with high volume applications. From Phase I and II of the Carbon Fiber…
