Soda Ash and Bicarbonate from a Low Energy Natural Gas Sweetening Process
Using an energy-efficient natural gas purification process, New Sky’s project will convert CO2 and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) contaminants from sour gas into valuable commodity chemicals, including soda ash, bicarbonate, and sulphur. The process uses a non-toxic, water-soluble base to capture CO2 and H2S, leaving pure natural gas for use as a low-carbon fuel. Instead of…

Carbon dioxide utilization in concrete
CarbonCure Technologies injects CO2 into concrete to sequester the carbon and improve the concrete’s performance. The retrofit technology bolts onto existing concrete plants, and allows concrete producers to sequester carbon dioxide emissions directly into concrete, while also making the concrete stronger, and less expensive to manufacture. CarbonCure has already started to commercially deploy the technology with…

Skyonic SkyCycle™ Pilot Demonstration
At its core, Skyonic’s SkyCycle™ carbon capture technology uses waste-heat from the source — a CO2 emitting plant — to mineralize CO2 emissions from that same plant. SkyCycle™ uses a synthetic base to capture the mildly acidic CO2, and mineralizes it as a solid carbonate. The primary, profitable product from the proposed Canadian SkyCycle™ Plant…

Field pilot demonstration of UBC’s waste-to-value innovation for conversion of carbon dioxide and desalination of wastewater in Alberta
Mangrove’s innovation recovers extractable value for on-site utilization by converting carbon dioxide and saline wastewater produced during oil and gas operations to re-usable water and oil field chemicals. The technology offers a “bolt-on” solution that would allow the oil and gas sector to reduce operational costs in addition to reducing their water consumption, wastewater generation…

Field-Deployment of a Carbon Dioxide Transformation System Powered by Sunlight
McGill University, with its commercialization partner Lumenfab, is developing a novel technology that has the potential to create high quality fuels from CO2 emissions and wastewater by using just solar power. The team, which also includes representatives from the University of Alberta, McMaster University and Hydro Quebec, will build and field test a high efficiency…

Use of Carbon Dioxide in Making Carbonate-Bond Precast Concrete Products
Carbonation in the cement of concrete products is readily available. McGill’s process builds on that process and uses CO2 to produce an artificial aggregate to be used in the concrete. Because of the unique properties of carbonated concrete, the end product is stronger and more durable than traditional concrete products. This process can be deployed…

High-efficiency CO2 capture using novel fibres in the production of soil conditioning agents and polymer replacements
CCm has created a unique process that fixes CO2 to base fibre materials to be used for soil conditioners, fertilizers and other polymers. The process delivers a highly efficient permanent capture of CO2 and creates high-demand products that can help create a positive long-term environmental impact. During the production of soil agents, CCm activates a…

Scale-up of New Innovative Cleantech Hydrovac Waste Processing System
Hydrovac Waste Solutions (HWS) developed a cleantech process that transforms the waste products of hydrovac activities into raw materials for new cement. This novel recycling process separates hydrovac slurry into reusable water, landscape materials, and other raw value-added materials. It contributes to Alberta’s circular economy by keeping materials out of landfills while supporting economic activity…

Carbon Cycle
The premise for Carbon Cycle’s technology is to permanently capture large amounts of CO2 in a process that produces precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and ammonium sulphate fertilizer. With a new technology, Carbon Cycle’s process uses dramatically less energy and creates a carbon-negative outcome rather than the current carbon-positive methods currently used. With low energy use…

Empower Calgary Scale Up Facility
Northstar Clean Technologies Inc.has developed a proprietary technology, the “Bitumen Extraction and Separation Technology”, known as BEST, that recycles waste asphalt shingles into their basic components of aggregate, fibre and liquid asphalt. The BEST technology separates all the components of asphalt shingles, providing a 100% waste diversion from landfills. Empower Calgary is expected to process…
