This project aims to improve the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell systems by testing and optimizing how they operate in real laboratory conditions. The work will be carried out at the Hydrogen Research Institute of Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, using an experimental fuel cell test bench, and in collaboration with the Université internationale de […]

Clean electricity is energy that is both sustainable and non-polluting. Such sources of energy are ideal for mitigating climate change. For the full benefit of clean energy generation to be realized, sustainable practices must be integrated into the development of clean technologies. This requires using materials that are both renewable and recyclable. These can indeed […]

This project brings together Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at University of Alberta (UofA) and Institute of Energy Materials and Devices (IMD-2: Materials Synthesis and Processing) at Forschungszentrum Jülich to develop tougher, longer-lasting oxide coatings for high-temperature use. Our team recently discovered a promising mix of metal oxides that forms naturally on a special […]

Rising carbon dioxide emissions necessitate innovative approaches for its capture and effective conversion into valuable chemical products. This project will develop Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) tethered to redox-active ortho-carboranes, providing a tunable platform for carbon dioxide capture and catalytic hydrosilylation. By combining electrochemical activation with main-group catalysis, the project aims to synthesize a new class […]

This project focuses on developing better computer models to predict how recycled concrete can store and transfer heat for use in thermal energy storage (TES) systems. Instead of relying only on expensive and time-consuming experiments, the project will create more accurate and efficient simulation methods that can speed up the design of sustainable energy storage […]

Achieving net-zero targets in developing countries requires deploying renewable energy in off-grid areas where grid expansion is impractical. High capital costs for renewable energy and hydrogen storage hinder adoption, with many systems being inefficient due to poor sizing or curtailment. This research focuses on developing a hybrid AI and optimization framework to enhance the sizing […]

This project explores how different processing methods affect the nutritional quality and health benefits of proteins from lupin, a sustainable legume crop. Lupin is rich in protein, environmentally resilient, and cost-effective to produce, making it an attractive alternative to meat and dairy proteins. However, the way proteins are extracted and processed can strongly influence how […]

Anessa offers software solutions for different stages in the lifecycle of a biogas plant. Solutions include feasibility analysis, feedstock planning and optimization, and monitoring. This proposal focuses on improvements and advances in the areas of optimization and monitoring. As a biogas digester uses living bacteria to transform waste materials into gas and fertilizer, creating and […]
