Development of Isotropic and Anisotropic Asphaltene-derived Carbon Anodes for Next-Generation Battery Applications
CarboMat Inc. aims to commercialize a technology that transforms a low-value by-product—petroleum asphaltenes (which make up about 18% of Alberta oil sands bitumen)—into affordable, sustainable, and high-performance carbon-based Battery Anode Materials (BAM). These include synthetic graphite for lithium-ion batteries and hard carbon for sodium-ion batteries. CarboMat’s proprietary technology provides a non-combustible, high-value use of asphaltenes

A waste-to-value approach to employ recycled asphalt shingles and pavement (RASP) to build a pathway towards a sustainable paving stones future
Asphalt shingle waste is becoming a critical issue as landfills reach capacity and the occurrence of roof-damaging hailstorms increases. Currently, there are no cost-effective commercial solutions to transform this increasing waste stream into a high-value product. To address this technology gap, Sustainable Paving Stones (SPS) will commercialize an innovative technology that transforms recycled asphalt shingles

Recycling of hard to recycle PET clamshell materials into food grade packaging
PET clamshell material packaging is a ‘hard to recycle’ plastic and, unless it is recycled, most now ends up in landfill. The project will be installing a process to recover 5,000 metric tonnes per year of PET clamshell material. In recovering 5,000 metric tonnes per year of PET clamshell material per year, the global net

Solar Heat for Industrial Process + Thermal Energy Storage
This project will implement a 1.5 MWt SolarSteam system with Sunamp’s Phase Change Material (PCM) Thermal Energy Storage (TES) at Base Element Energy’s oil emulsion treatment facility in Cynthia, Alberta. SolarSteam’s proprietary Design for Manufacturing, Shipping, and Assembly (DfMSA™) enables deployment in all climates. This first-of-its-kind integration at this scale will demonstrate the transition from

Nano-modified Polymer Additive for Cement to Stop Methane Gas Migration
TS-Nano is piloting a patented nano-modified polymer to improve cement sealing performance by resisting methane gas migration. The polymer supplements cement’s hydrostatic pressure during gelling and solidification, significantly reducing surface casing vent flow and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The technology will be tested with cement commonly used in Alberta’s oil and gas sector to tackle
