Gasification of wastes (either urban waste or residues from forest and agricultural operations) at large scale is a challenging operation because of the heterogeneity of the feedstock. Enerkem has addressed such challenge via its state-of-the art Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB) technology coupled with secondary Cracking and Reforming that results in high conversion of Carbon to […]

Transition to a circular economy (CE) can lower emissions from the built environment by reducing material consumption and waste generation. Because of this, CE policies and adoption of CE practices are increasingly being seen across the globe. This project assesses the current state of transition to a CE in the Canadian and UK built environments, […]

In order to accelerate the energy transition to a carbon-free economy, hydrogen is becoming increasingly important as an energy carrier. One way of producing green hydrogen is via water electrolysis using renewable energy. Strong governmental policies are being deployed around the world to support the implementation of the hydrogen infrastructure. However, the intermittent and fluctuating […]

Black Business Ventures Association (BBVA) is a non-profit technology accelerator with a mandate to increase the participation of Black-led technology startups in Canada. In November 2021, BBVA launched the first Black-focused accelerator program in Western Canada. In order to implement its programs and connect with Black communities across the Prairies Region, BBVA plans to establish […]

La réalisation des travaux sur les infrastructures urbaines peut générer des nuisances qui affectent le bien-être et causent des pertes économiques aux citoyens. Afin de gérer ces impacts, il faut connaître leur nature et leur intensité, ce qui dépend, parmi d’autres facteurs, des caractéristiques du milieu environnant. Ce projet propose donc de classifier le milieu […]

Les systèmes de cueillette aléatoire robotisée (« 3D bin picking ») existent sur le marché depuis plus d’une décennie, mais sont toujours difficiles à configurer, lents, et très dispendieux. Avec les avances de la librairie libre de vision artificielle OpenCV et les caméras stéréo abordables, telles que OAK-D, le développement de systèmes de « 3D […]

Le Labo – Solutions Brassicoles est une entreprise qui produit à grande échelle des solutions de levures liquides à des fins brassicoles, c’est-à-dire qu’elle fournit aux microbrasseries du Québec, et bientôt d’ailleurs, les petites bêtes nécessaires à l’élaboration des bières, celles qui rendent possible la production d’alcool lors de l’étape qu’on appelle ‘fermentation’, mais permettent […]

The project will develop a 6G silicon-based beamforming network incorporating optical technologies. Such a technology may increase the performance of the 6G wireless systems and to reduce the power consumption. The use of photonics to perform beamforming has a key advantage of wide instantaneous bandwidth with no beam squint problem. Since the signals are already […]

Le projet proposé vise à réduire les accidents de conduite dus à la fatigue au volant en particulier pour les chauffeurs routiers. Pour cela, des capteurs intégrés dans la housse du siège du conducteur, serviront à mesurer la respiration et le rythme cardiaque du conducteur. Le but de la recherche proposée sera de réussir à […]

The goal of this project is to assess the effectiveness of Concrete Canvas® in mitigating the radioactive radon gas exposure as well as methane infiltration into northern houses due to degrading permafrost. The outcomes of this research can provide northern communities with a relatively low-cost climate adaptation strategy to deal with toxic soil gas exposure […]
