How Drumheller Is Helping Accelerate Alberta’s Energy Storage Market
On the prairie outside Drumheller, Alberta, rows of solar panels do more than soak up sunshine. They feed a battery that has quietly become one of Alberta’s most instructive experiments in the province’s energy transition, proving that pairing solar power with storage can work and be profitable in one of North America’s most competitive electricity […]

Doubling Oil Pipeline Throughput and Export Capacity While Halving Diluent Use with Continuous Multilayered Encapsulation (CME) Technology
Northiana has developed a technology that can enable the transportation of highly viscous fluids, such as under-blended crude oil and thickened mine tailings, through existing pipelines while using less energy. Traditionally, bitumen transport requires a 30% blend of diluent, an additive to reduce the thickness of the bitumen and help it flow through pipelines. Diluent […]

Operationalizing Slow Release BioLodestone: Field Trials, AI Integration, and Regulatory Acceptance for Accelerated Site Closure in Alberta
LiORA aims to advance and test its BioLodestone technology, a natural nutrient mix to remediate sites contaminated by hydrocarbons (gasoline, crude oil, diesel). These contaminated sites are an environmental and economic liability across Alberta and Western Canada. Current soil remediation methods require long site closure and are carbon-intensive, costly, and impractical at remote or low-security […]
Project
Brooks Newell Hydrogen Hub
Funded through ERA’s Continuous Intake Program, the Brooks Newell Hydrogen Project brings together the two critical elements required to successfully introduce hydrogen as a transportation fuel in Alberta. The first is the design and construction of a stand-alone hydrogen production and refuelling facility (H2 Hub) capable of meeting local demand for clean hydrogen while also […]
