New Production System
Korova is developing a new productive system that will serve as a model for other feedlots in Alberta. The new productive system involves the integration of Rolled Compacted Concrete (RCC) for pen floor surfacing and an onsite innovative Bio-Digestor (BD) technology to upgrade manure as a feedstock to produce Biomethane. This project is anticipated to achieve emission reductions…

The Conversion of Forestry Residue to Advanced Biofuels in Alberta
Steeper Energy’s Hydrofaction® technology employs proven, catalytic, supercritical water chemistry to convert waste biomass from forests and fields into Hydrofaction® Oil. This advanced bio-crude product is economically upgradeable into diesel or jet fuel using Steeper Energy’s multi-stage upgrading technologies. With minor modification, Hydrofaction® Oil can be co-processed with petroleum cuts in existing Alberta refineries, allowing…

Northern Alberta – Community Diesel Reduction
ATCO Electric owns and operates two existing isolated diesel plants that supply the remote communities of Indian Cabins and Steen River with electricity. These sites are located 150 and 175km north of High Level, just south of the NorthWest Territories. ATCO Electric has completed feasibility studies that consider installing renewable generation and battery energy storage…

Hydrogen Locomotive Program
In December 2020, CP announced plans to design and build North America’s first line-haul hydrogen-powered locomotive using fuel cells and batteries to power the locomotive. To help expand this program, ERA has committed $15 million through its Shovel-Ready Challenge, enabling CP to increase the number of hydrogen locomotive conversions in the project from one to…

Development and Field Testing of a Tri-Generation Pyrolysis (TGP) System for Low-cost, Clean Hydrogen Production
The project will develop and demonstrate a novel pulse methane pyrolysis (PMP) system for low-cost, clean, industrial H2 production. The project will also demonstrate a direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC), which converts solid by-product carbon from the PMP process to electrical power and enhances the economics of hydrogen production. The resulting tri-generation pyrolysis (TGP) platform…

A New Wave in Hydrogen Production
Standing Wave Reformers, Inc. (SWR) introduces a new energy paradigm in clean hydrogen (H2) generation – shock wave or compression energy. The core innovation uses well proven components in a novel application for methane pyrolysis. The compression energy transfer in the Wave Reformer directly heats natural gas to temperatures sufficient to directly crack methane into…

ATCO and Future Fuel RNG
The project is a first-of-kind commercial demonstration to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas at an agricultural operation. The RNG will be injected into the Alberta pipeline system where a portion will be used within Alberta in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fleet vehicles and commercial applications. This project addresses a gap that bridges feedstock…

Fort Saskatchewan Hydrogen Blending
In a first of its kind project for Alberta, ATCO will blend hydrogen into a subsection of its Fort Saskatchewan natural gas distribution system at a concentration of five percent, by volume. Because combustion of hydrogen emits only water, blending hydrogen into natural gas reduces the greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of the natural gas stream.…
