Net Zero Emerging Concepts and Technologies (ECT) Research Program – New Brunswick
April 2023 – March 2026
From laboratory to market
Many of the solutions needed to achieve 2050 net-zero emissions goals must still be invented, proven and scaled up to commercial availability.

Performance validation of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) in a controlled environment
June 2018 – October 2019
In the past few years, the Nova Scotia tidal community has augmented its marine operational capacity, but some unknowns and risks still exist and the cost associated with such operations are high.

Developing Enhanced Marine Operations (DEMO) in High Flow Tidal Environments
October 2017 – October 2019
Conventional subsea remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) perform poorly in currents exceeding 1.5 m/s. This is a key operating limitation in the success and cost of marine operations in the Bay of Fundy, where current speeds reach 5 m/s.

Testing of a New Turbine Blade Design and Blade Materials
July 2018 – May 2019
There’s not yet a standardized, optimal way of extracting power from tidal currents. That’s why many tidal industry technologies are currently being tested around the world.

Impacts of Tidal Energy Extraction on Sediment Dynamics in Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy
February 2010 – December 2012
Researchers developed a numerical hydrodynamic and sediment transport model for Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy, focusing on the sediment dynamics of the tidal inlets and flats.

Effects of Energy Extraction on Sediment Dynamics in Intertidal Ecosystems of the Minas Basin
January 2010 – May 2012
This project assessed how the dynamics of sedimentation change when energy is extracted from a macro-tidal system. The differences in tidal prism and energy between neap and spring tidal cycles were used as a proxy for energy extraction by in-stream tidal power devices.
