At the International CCS Knowledge Centre (Knowledge Centre), we take climate action seriously. We are dedicated to advancing the understanding and use of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) to manage greenhouse gas emissions globally. We know that the world can’t get to net-zero starting from ground zero – so we provide the know-how to […]

Current challenges, like climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic, have brought new awareness to how we consume, produce, and distribute food. In Saskatchewan, climate change is already impacting the quality and quantity of southern water supplies and strategies used for hunting, gathering, and fishing in northern areas. Amidst these challenges, this project examines whether local […]

The project focuses on conducting macro research on the Agtech, Clean-Tech and North American Venture Capital landscape with the goal of providing private capital to fund Canadian Agtech and agribusiness innovation. We believe some of the futures best agricultural and agribusiness companies are being built right here in Canada and Saskatchewan! Emmertech was built by […]

A multi-party live video communication, such as live tutorials and fitness classes, are an emerging application which involves a large number of users from different places with heterogeneous network conditions like 3G/4G/5G or Wi-Fi networks. Video Content/Service providers usually deploy their Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) over the public Internet to avoid expenses of dedicated connectivity. […]

Scrawlr is a platform for unconstrained, global interaction with all internet content and users. Scrawlr allows for user evaluation and unconstrained classification of any Scrawlr-hosted or non-Scrawlr content. For non-Scrawlr content, this evaluation and classification allowance will be first at the URL level but will subsequently be provided at the individual content component level. The […]

The proposed research will develop a reliable analytical method for the quantitative analysis of grain grading factors for Canadian Western Red Spring wheat using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Most commercially available near infrared spectrometers used in agricultural applications require significant expertise, a large footprint, a controlled environment, and are prohibitively expensive. The NIRS technology is […]

This research project will develop new methods for detecting space debris, communication signals, and moon dust equipped on spacecraft and satellites to be launched in the future. One of the major concerns with equipment orbiting Earth is the possible collision with space debris. Also, a lunar outpost equipped with the Canadarm3 is planned for completion […]

Boundary Reservoir near Estevan, SK has warm water from a coal plant released into it and this warm water created suitable conditions for the reservoir to support the only largemouth bass fishery in the province. In the coming years, the power plant is significantly reducing its operations and it is unknown what will happen to […]

Due to the growing number of scrap tires, its related environmental impact of improper scrap tires’ management, and the circular economy concept, devulcanization plants are growing all over the world to reproduce high-quality rubber that can be reused in high-quality tire manufacturing. Therefore, growing concerns are the effective & efficient facility layout, environmental policy for […]

Loin pain-hematuria syndrome (LPHS) is a rare human disease with a reported prevalence of 12 per 100,000. It is predominantly observed in women with the age at symptom onset ranging from the first to sixth decade of life, with most patients being in late 20s or early 30s. The characteristic feature of LPHS is unrelenting […]

The Canadian aviation industry is anxious to recovery from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. More air traveling requires more extensive application of aircraft de-icing fluid (ADF) to ensure aviation safety in freezing seasons. The major ingredients of ADF include anti-freeze agent (ethylene or propylene glycol), corrosive inhibitors, surfactants, pH buffers, polymers, and dyes. These chemicals […]

The decades of uncontained use of aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) is believed to be one of the main reasons of soil and groundwater per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination. PFAS are widely considered to be “forever chemicals” because of their extreme inertness in the environment and even water and wastewater treatment systems. Recognizing the […]
