### Résumé du projet : Ce projet de recherche vise à accélérer la transition écologique des trains passagers en étudiant la conversion des trains diesel en trains à batterie dans le contexte du Québec, où les températures varient de -20 à 40 °C, la charge mécanique fluctue aux heures de pointe et le relief varie […]

The population of Canadians aged 85 and older is rapidly increasing, with over 861,000 people in this age group recorded in the 2021 Census, more than double the figure from 2001. The number of seniors aged 85+ continues to rise and could triple by 2046, reaching 2.5 million. Additionally, over 9,500 centenarians now live in […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to carry out tasks of increased complexity, expanding in indoor environments such as warehouses and healthcare settings. However, indoor environments impose unique challenges to UAVs as the enclosed space is relatively small and safety is crucial for people working in the same space. Furthermore, the unavailability of GPS leads […]

Water management and treatment of mineral tailings and oil sands tailings are becoming critical challenges for the sustainable development of natural resources exploration. Reclamation of these tailings is challenging due to a solid phase composed mainly by very fine particles and many other chemicals. With these characteristics, the tailings form a very stable colloidal system […]

In industries, chemical processes involve different plants running in parallel with different production rates under the strict constraints on available resources. Therefore, events like shutdown of one or more plants, operating plants with different production grades with flexible run length time, different equipment utilization rates of plants are vital to be studied, scheduled, and optimized. […]

Mining operations have significant environmental impacts, making the adoption of innovative, energy-efficient materials handling technologies crucial for achieving both economic viability and environmental sustainability. This Mitacs project focuses on optimizing the materials handling systems at the Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell (KSM) Project in British Columbia to reduce its operating costs and GHG emissions. The project aims to identify […]

This project aims to advance the development of fusion energy, a technology with the potential to provide nearly limitless, clean power for the future. General Fusion’s approach, known as pulsed fusion, differs from traditional methods by releasing energy in short, intense bursts rather than maintaining a continuous reaction. This method makes the process more controllable […]

Ce projet de recherche vise à démontrer comment l’optimisation de l’application des principes de Kaizen peut transformer les pratiques de gestion des dossiers de production, en offrant des bénéfices significatifs en termes de qualité, de conformité et d’efficacité. Commençant par une revue de littérature sur l’application de la méthode kaizen dans différents types d’industries ce […]

Gazifère is focussed on large scale implementation of RNG as fuel as it owns and operates a 1?000 km gas system. It is true that utilization of a waste such as pulp and paper mill sludge is a beneficial approach for the environment as it helps in waste management and related emission to air, water, […]

Canada, with 20% of the Earth’s freshwater resources, is experiencing changes to its terrestrial water cycle as the impacts of climate change progress. This can lead to complex water storage changes manifesting as flood risks and droughts on various spatiotemporal scales. This project aims to compare a state-of-the-art physics-based hydrological modelling platform, namely HydroGeoSphere, part […]

The partner organization intends to decarbonize it’s Canadian lime kilns. One option is to switch to biogenic sources worldwide, although doing so will still result in CO2 emissions. A preferred option is to switch to hydrogen, because it is clean and results in higher kiln efficiency. The technology described in this proposal would advance these […]
