Net Zero Emerging Concepts and Technologies (ECT) Research Program - Nova Scotia
April 2023 – March 2026
Nova Scotia won’t get to net-zero by 2050 with proven renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. There are still significant knowledge and technology gaps that must be identified and addressed to tackle the most hard-to-abate greenhouse gas emissions in the 2030-2050 period.

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

Design and Construction of an On-Demand, Submerged Combustion, Direct-Contact Water Heater operating on Hydrogen for use in the Agricultural Sector
September 2023 – September 2024
Transitioning to a green hydrogen economy requires end-use applications. Some water heating units that currently operate on propane or natural gas may be able to safely operate on hydrogen-enriched natural gas mixtures (HENG) with up to 20–30% hydrogen with no modification.
