The project will use surveys and focus groups to gather insights […]

Building materials made from bio-based feedstock such as biochar requires less embodied energy and has carbon sequestration capacity. Their use in construction reduces the overall Global Warming Potential (GWP) of building materials, facilitates environmental repair, and reduces climate impacts from environmentally intensive industry sectors such as agriculture and aquaculture. Bio-based composites are typically low in […]

The project “Scaling Sustainable Waste-to-Energy Solutions: Poultry Manure to Biofuels and Carbon Capture” focuses on commercializing an innovative pyrolysis-based technology that transforms poultry manure into bio-oil, biochar, and pyro-gas. This solution addresses both environmental and economic challenges in Canada’s poultry and renewable energy sectors by providing a sustainable alternative to traditional manure disposal methods, which […]

Canada’s education system is facing mounting challenges. Educators are reporting high levels of stress and burnout, largely due to administrative burdens that take time away from teaching. Simultaneously, students—particularly in STEM subjects—are struggling to keep pace in a system that often lacks the capacity to provide individualized support. These issues are especially pronounced in under-resourced […]

This project will create an AI-powered device that helps shellfish hatcheries keep their larvae healthy by constantly monitoring them. The system uses smart image analysis to catch early signs of disease or stress, sends real-time alerts to staff, and reduces the need for manual checks. This makes hatcheries more efficient, helping them produce more healthy […]

Craft breweries depend heavily on their brewmasters to forecast demand and plan production, which distracts them from their core focus: brewing good quality beer. It also puts significant pressure on breweries because if the brewmaster suddenly becomes unavailable, they would be incapable of effectively completing these tasks. Forecasting and production planning become increasingly difficult as […]
