Green ammonia derived membranes & sorbents for direct air capture of carbon dioxide
September 2023 – September 2024
Carbon dioxide (CO2) induced global warming is an existential threat, prompting efforts to reduce net emissions of this greenhouse gas (GHG) to zero. But as CO2 levels are already dangerously high, removal of CO2 remains necessary even once the net-zero target is achieved.

Empowering Sustainable Livestock Practices: Advanced Sensors for GHG Monitoring
September 2023 – September 2024
Livestock industry accounts for approximately 14.5% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The primary sources of GHG emissions from ruminant animals are enteric fermentation and manure disposal, which are inherent and essential parts of the animal food cycle.

Two-step CO2 Capture and Storage Technology using Seawater and Mineral Carbonation of Mine Water Pool of Sydney Coalfields
September 2023 – September 2024
The goal of this project is to develop a point-source carbon capture and storage technology that: 1) uses a capture medium constituted from seawater; and 2) employs a technique that permanently sequesters the captured carbon as metal carbonates using the contaminated water of flooded former mines

Scoping an Atlantic Hydrogen Strategy
February – March 2022
Hydrogen is an energy vector that has the potential to play an important role in Atlantic Canada’s future energy system. While this role was recognized in two studies, Atlantic Canada does not have a hydrogen strategy.
