Canyon Creek Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project
Although pumped hydro energy storage is a well-established technology globally, Canyon Creek will be the first of its kind in Western Canada. Its planned 75 MW capacity and up to 37 hours of storage time will make available to the grid operator a flexible, responsive, and real time tool to help balance the intermittent supply…

New Production System
Korova is developing a new productive system that will serve as a model for other feedlots in Alberta. The new productive system involves the integration of Rolled Compacted Concrete (RCC) for pen floor surfacing and an onsite innovative Bio-Digestor (BD) technology to upgrade manure as a feedstock to produce Biomethane. This project is anticipated to achieve emission reductions…

Development and Field Testing of a Tri-Generation Pyrolysis (TGP) System for Low-cost, Clean Hydrogen Production
The project will develop and demonstrate a novel pulse methane pyrolysis (PMP) system for low-cost, clean, industrial H2 production. The project will also demonstrate a direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC), which converts solid by-product carbon from the PMP process to electrical power and enhances the economics of hydrogen production. The resulting tri-generation pyrolysis (TGP) platform…

A New Wave in Hydrogen Production
Standing Wave Reformers, Inc. (SWR) introduces a new energy paradigm in clean hydrogen (H2) generation – shock wave or compression energy. The core innovation uses well proven components in a novel application for methane pyrolysis. The compression energy transfer in the Wave Reformer directly heats natural gas to temperatures sufficient to directly crack methane into…
