Valorizing Industrially Produced CO2 : A Reliable and Cost Effective Solution for Carbon Capture and its Conversion to Marketable Products.
The goal for Enerkem is to produce fuels and chemicals that are useful at the location they are generated. As part of this strategy, they have developed a technology to convert CO2 into syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) using catalytic conversion. With the ability to create syngas at varying ratios, Enerkem can produce a variety…
Project Roll
Founded in 2019, Canadian clean tech startup Circular Rubber Technologies Inc. (CRT) is a Pending B Corp on a mission to enable infinite reuse of the world’s rubber.

Upcycling discarded lime waste stream
Landfill Fly Ash Beneficiation
Lafarge Canada Inc. is proposing to build a facility that will beneficiate landfilled fly ash in Alberta. Fly ash is a fine powder that is a by-product of burning coal in electric generation power plants. This by-product is used extensively in the concrete industry as a replacement for cement in the concrete mixture due to…
Bio-sourced asphalt from the Canadian forest industry
FPInnovations is developing a lignin-modified asphalt formulation suitable for the Canadian paving industry. For this project, the company plans to produce a lignin-modified hot mix asphalt that meets all performance requirements of road owners and asphalt producers. The process would reduce GHG emissions by replacing some of the non-renewable, fossil-based bitumen with renewable, bio-sourced lignin in asphalt production.…
Achieving carbon neutrality through the datafication of wastewater from livestock
IWR Technologies Ltd.’s livestock division Livestock Water Recycling, has developed a technology (known as PLANT) that transforms paunch manure into two distinct natural fertilizers, reducing on-farm methane emissions by up to 82 per cent in cattle processing. PLANT uses progressive water treatment technology to extract manure particles from water and segregate these into valuable fertilizer…

Brewery GHG reduction first-of-kind commercialization project
Blindman Brewing is partnering with Earthly Labs to adopt their CO2 capture and reuse technology in its brewing process in collaboration with Olds College and the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute. CO2 that is free from oxygen and nitrogen is captured from the fermentation process and sent to a foam trap where most of the liquid…
Using Ag waste and craft brewer’s grain to grow high value mushrooms and produce livestock feed.
Ceres has developed a system which uses otherwise wasted brewery and agricultural byproducts as a growing media for specialty mushroom cultivation. The mushrooms grown in Ceres’ system are higher quality, fresher, more affordable and more sustainable than what is currently available. During the mushroom growing process, fibers in the growing media are broken down by…
