The production of green hydrogen can alleviate the heavy burden of greenhouse gas emissions and allow the decarbonization of the industrial and transportation sectors. However, this energy carrier requires safe and economical storage solutions. An alternative and yet relatively underexplored solution is the storage of hydrogen gas (H2) in cased wells. For Quebec to become […]

This project aims to develop two microgrid models based on hybrid energy resources for supplying clean energy to marine applications and waterfront infrastructure. The proposed Hybrid Energy Station (HES) has two models of HES microgrid. The first is a mobile HES (MHES) for supplying offshore power for charging boats and ships and auxiliary services integrated […]

The main goal of this study is to develop a catalyst capable of producing hydrogen through urea oxidation. By synthesizing and modifying various metal nanoparticles, a layered double hydroxide structure will be synthesized, and electrochemical measurements will be made. Through this study, laboratories of both countries will find a new way to cooperate to produce […]

The transformation of renewable feedstocks such as carbon dioxide, is closely linked to homogenous catalysis. In homogenous catalysis transition metal complexes, containing a metal center and a of ligands (modulating the reactivity of these complexes) are key to achieve challenging transformations. This project aims to synthesize unique phosphorus-containing molecules (ligands) that can bind to transition […]

Les impacts environnementaux des traitements biologiques, comme la digestion anaérobie des déchets ménagers, peuvent être réduits par l’ajout d’unités de traitement subséquent. Dans ce sens, la dénitrification de l’effluent liquide de digestion anaérobie est un bon moyen de réduire les émissions gazeuses lors d’épandage ou de traitement conventionnel des eaux. Le traitement permet de récupérer […]

In light of an urgent ecological demand for attentiveness to the non-human; outcomes. this proposal stresses the importance of the literary medium in addressing eco-critical questions. In essence, this project explores the interdependency of human and non-human entities through literary-material desires: collecting, hoarding, and discarding. My research thus asks how we can read literature under […]

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is found in the epithelial, connective, and neural tissues in the human body and rooster comb tissues. It provides lubrication and acts as a cushion in the joints for different tissues of the human body. Currently, hyaluronic acid is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and medical applications. In […]

Burning of fossil fuels causes serious problems including air pollution and global warming. As a result, harvesting and employing of clean and renewable energies including photovoltaic and wind energies are getting vital and necessary. Harvesting of these energies, although, has its own issues. These clean energies should be converted to the proper form of energy […]

Le projet se concentre sur la conception d’une structure d’enveloppe de bâtiment adaptée aux conditions climatiques du Québec et sur l’isolation des bâtiments avec l’aide de matériaux d’isolation écologiques et biosourcés. Le transfert de chaleur et d’humidité à travers l’enveloppe du bâtiment biosourcé sera comparé à l’enveloppe du bâtiment conventionnel utilisé dans la région de […]

The 2015 Paris Agreement is clear: significant climate change action will require innovation and a number of different responses, touching on finance, technology, and capacity-building. This will likely include the deployment of new tools, ranging from new models in education and the support of knowledge transfer to novel financing and policy frameworks. As we approach […]

Interest in e-recreational activities has increased geometrically in the past 3-4 years, along with related economic opportunities. Electrification of off-road recreation vehicles is happening in all categories, from snowmobiles to motorcycles, watercraft and e-mountain bikes but lacks a collaborative approach between industry, academia and government. KORE’s strategy is to take advantage of this window of […]

The UN Sustainable Development Goals provide guidance for how to address the interconnected challenges of climate change. Most modelling does not include consideration of the different factors of the SDGs, though recent work has begun to include the nexus of Climate, Land, Energy and Water interactions in models. This helps identify impacts of the energy […]
