$2,000,000
To demonstrate enhanced late-life process as an alternative to steam-flood for recovering bitumen in cyclic steam stimulation operations To use power electronics technologies to integrate remote gas field microgrids in Alberta To develop an intelligent green-building energy system based on renewable resources and energy-storage integration To finalize the development of a new pipeline technology that will transport bitumen and oil products across Canada at a lower cost and with a smaller environmental footprint To study options for effective cannabis waste treatment and energy recovery To develop a partial upgrader that uses hydrodynamic vapour cavities and thermal- cracking stimulators to reduce greenhouse gas generation and energy consumption in partial upgrading processes To speed the industrialization of bacteria that can convert methane waste into isoprenoids, which can be used as bio-jet fuel and specialized fuel additives To strengthen heat exchanger coatings with alumina and apply the novel coatings-based heat exchanger in the field algorithms for steam-quality monitoring with microwaves and develop a lab-based prototype system to verify the findings To develop a better understanding of the thermal behaviour of borehole heat exchangers and design a more economically feasible geo-exchange system To improve the efficiency of LED lights through secondary optics design To determine the specific sensing requirements, sensor designs, and
