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…

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…

High-Value Synthetic Chemicals and Gasoline Drop-In Liquid Fuels from Canada’s CO2 and Flare Gas Emissions
Based on over a decade of research from NASA, the DOE and a number of industrial projects, Pioneer has developed a process to create butanol from greenhouse gases. Butanol is an attractive alternative fuel substitute that also has many other applications. This innovative process also addresses key production issues facing other alternative fuels, including development…

CO2 Conversion to Methanol through Bi-reforming
With funding from ERA, the University of California Riverside (UCR) created an innovative catalyst to be used in the conversion of CO2 and Methane (CH4) to produce methanol—a valuable fuel and intermediary chemical. This catalyst makes improvements on catalysts currently available, but still can be adopted for use by conventional processes currently in operation. This…

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…

Production of Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) from Captured CO2 and Methanol
E3Tec Service has developed a safer alternative to produce dimethyl carbonate (DMC) using CO2 sequestration rather than the toxic chemical procedure currently used. A highly sought-after product used in the manufacture of polycarbonates, DMC can be used to produce solvents, fuel additives and lithium ion batteries. The process employed is energy efficient, environmentally responsible and…

Carbon Capture and Mineralogic Sequestration – Addressing the World Wide Epidemic on a World Wide Scale
Blue Planet has developed a technology platform called Liquid Condensed Phase (LCP) that creates usable green building products that contain sequestered CO2. Their LCP solution provides a more efficient, cost-effective method for CO2 emission control for industries from, cement, power, and petrochemical industries. At the same time, it creates a highly flexible primary raw material…

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…
