Greenfield Global is developing a process to produce jet fuel from renewable materials, such as waste biomass and organic municipal waste. Fischer–Tropsch synthesis converts a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (synthesis gas) that was produced from the waste biomass and organic municipal waste into a synthetic crude oil that can be refined to produce […]

Thermo-photovoltaic (TPV) systems are optical heat engines that convert radiant heat to electricity using a photovoltaic cell. TPV is a highly promising technology that can potentially be used to generate electric power from any high-temperature heat source including concentrated solar radiation, industrial waste heat, heat from radioisotope decay, and fuel combustion systems. However, the performance […]

This research seeks to find a method of predicting how much heating is required to maintain comfort in homes. By collecting information such as outside weather conditions and inside temperatures along with thermostat ontime, a method of predicting the needed heat for the home will be determined. Research involves installing devices in homes that record […]

The primary question to answer is broad: how can we identify, target, and convert potential customers in Canada, the US, and Mexico in a sustainable way? Our strategy must be designed to consider operational and resource constraints. The first objective would be to develop and execute a digital marketing communication strategy in an Agile way. […]

Surface cleaning is a technology used in a wide variety of industries, from heavy manufacturing and the energy sector through to conservation and restoration. Historically, technologies such as sandblasting and pressure washing have been used which have significant environmental and waste challenges. More recently, laser ablation has been used for surface cleaning. This last technology […]

Computer simulations have been widely used by the offshore and marine industry, but they typically use different software to simulate different components of a single operational scenario. For example, the tool can be used for the analysis of wave loads of a moored structure in ice infested areas, eliminating the need for analyzing wave load, […]

My internship require me to do the research to determine the product-market fit. I am currently engaged in initiating the CRM platform for the company (Hubspot). My responsibilities include finding potential collaborators. sourcing raw material and doing competitor analysis.

CanDry is currently in R&D stage developing a dehydrator for drying organic and in-organic materials. A prototype is built for testing purposes which will help to design a good quality product. For modifying the design of prototype, we need to simulate the electromagnetic behaviour of the system and run multiple tests to compare the simulation […]

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are powering a myriad of electronic and electric devices. There are many types of LIBs used for various applications including electric vehicles, electronics, and stationary energy storage. They are mostly based on lithiumcobalt cathodic compounds. Conversely, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a cobalt free cathodic material that is preferred over cobalt based […]

La collecte et le tri des batteries usées dans la province de Québec sont réalisés par l’entreprise Société Laurentide. Après triage, les batteries sont envoyées pour leur transformation à l’ouest canadien ou aux États-Unis. Afin de faire leur recyclage au Québec, diminuant l’émission des gaz à effet de serre dû à leur transport, Laurentide souhaite […]

The project aims at developing prototype of a new ultrasonic based device to monitor and maintain oil-water interface position and oil layer height. Need for such a device has been identified for applications in oil-water separators commonly used in a number of processes. The ability to monitor interface position as well as liquid-layer thickness is […]

CERT has developed a technology to convert carbon dioxide into chemicals using water and renewable electricity in a system called a CO2 electrolyzer. They are scaling up this technology as part of the Carbon XPRIZE competition, a global race to find new technologies to make valuable products from CO2. CERT will take the CO2 from […]
