Lower emissions and costs with winning oil sands SAGD heating technology
“Challenge programs like these have been great for connecting COSIA members with innovators who may have potential solutions to the problems we are trying to solve.” AMSEnergy’s Heat Pipe Heat Exchanger (HPHX) technology is the winner of the final stage of the ARCTIC Waste Heat Challenge, Foresight Cleantech Accelerator Centre and COSIA announced in a press release. The technology is […]
De-carbonized natural gas goal of next ARCTIC technology challenge
$500,000 in funding available for combined Challenge Sprint and Field Testing Natural gas is already the cleanest fossil fuel, but a new competition aims to “de-carbonize” Canada’s gas supply even further, possibly helping the country meet its Paris Climate Accord commitments. In this podcast, I interview Neil Huff of the Foresight Cleantech Accelerator Centre and […]
Finalists chosen in tech competition to lower oil sands mining GHG emissions, raise energy efficiency
One solution will be selected for additional funding for field testing Two finalists have been chosen in the Mining Hot Water Production Challenge to develop technology that will lower greenhouse gas emissions and raise energy efficiency in oil sands mining operations. Foresight Cleantech Accelerator Centre, Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) and Alberta Innovates have announced that Western Canada-based (Alberta and […]
‘Innovating the innovation process’ focus of new oil sands partnership between industry, researchers, govt
Goal is to more quickly develop, implement new technologies that reduce environmental impacts A new partnership involving Canada’s largest oil sands producers is supporting research to “innovate the innovation process,” a move aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of the sector while improving long-term competitiveness, according to a press release. Researchers at the Ivey Business […]
Alberta’s oil sands backed $20M NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE
Carbon XPRIZE competition one step closer to re-imagining CO2 Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) – thanks to its Carbon XPRIZE – has some of the best minds on the planet working on technologies to lower emissions, according to a press release. Now, the international finalists competing in the $20 million NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE […]
Waste Heat Challenge example of how Alberta oil sands will lick GHG emissions issue
Technology competitions like Waste Heat Challenge are terrific policy for stimulating technical innovation When Alberta Premier Rachel Notley announced her climate change policies last Nov., energy industry leaders promised they would “take the carbon out of the barrel,” which is not coincidentally is the goal of a new competition, the “COSIA-ARCTIC Waste Heat Challenge.” Unless you’re […]
Canadian oilsands group doubles down on green technology, despite low oil prices
Oilsands companies share technologies on improving environmental performance CALGARY – Members of Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance are “doubling down” on sharing their green technologies despite the pinch from low crude oil prices, the group’s boss said Wednesday. Oilsands firms are sharing about as many different technologies now, with oil below US$50 a barrel, as they were last year, […]
