THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Integration of renewable energy systems into grid is an effective solution to the electric energy shortage and environmental pollution. A number of technical challenges may arise with increased grid-connected renewable energy systems. One of the most important issues is how to achieve the islanding protection. Many anti-islanding detection methods have been reported for single renewable […]

Supercapacitors are energy storage devices that can be charged and discharged much faster than batteries while also being more reliable and exhibiting nearly indefinite cycle-life. Graphene-based materials which are a single layer of carbon atoms, exhibit the highest surface area of any material and have the potential to form the ideal supercapacitor electrodes, if we […]

There is a need for alternative and renewable methods to produce liquid fuels and commodity chemicals and decrease the world’s dependence on fossil resources. In this regard, the modification of simple, non-food (plant) biomass-derived chemicals is an important goal towards providing a sustainable access to high-energy molecules as potential fuels and other starting materials for […]

Our solution provides modular floating solar array units that aggregate into a scalable platform with energy generation capacities between 50kWh/day (0.35MWh/week) and 0.5MWh/day(3.5MWh/week), similar and compatible with the current energy needs of small and medium-size indigenous coastal communities.

Marine data is vital for protecting fisheries, understanding climate change’s impact, and supporting ocean industry. However, collecting data is costly, challenging, and time-consuming. Renewable energy powered unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a promising solution for marine data collection due to their maneuverability, sensor payload, and ease of use. Yet, uncertain environmental factors lead to intermittent […]

The increasing occurrence of unprecedented natural disasters attributed to climate change serves as a constant reminder of the necessity to decrease reliance on fossil fuels. In order to harvest renewable energy sources as a solution, our research proposes an innovative method of extracting maximum energy from ocean waves via piezoceramic material. In this work, the […]

Buried pipeline systems form a key part of effective and safe infrastructures for the transportation of natural resources such as natural gas and liquid. However, they may be constructed in areas prone to landslides where ground movement may exert excessive strains on the pipe sections causing rupture. This project develops and presents a methodology for […]

Our research project aims to transform shrimp waste into valuable resources, chitin, and hydrochar, benefiting seafood companies by improving waste management and profitability. The problem we are tackling is the harmful disposal of shrimp waste by these companies, causing environmental damage, economic losses, and missed opportunities. Hydrothermal uses heat, pressure, and water to potentially separate […]

This research project focuses on developing a compressed air energy transmission system as an alternative to the current electrical energy transmission system. Compressed air has the potential to be an efficient and cost-effective solution for storing energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. The project will focus on improving the efficiency of current compressed […]

Currently, aluminum is produced with the Hall-Héroult process. Usually, consumable carbon anodes are used, thus leading to high rate of emissions of greenhouse gases in the environment. Anodes based on a new carbon-free material are being developed in Québec by Elysis, which originated from a partnership between Alcoa and Rio Tinto. This would be very […]

The global push to decarbonise our energy system and all its related processes has stirred up a great interest amongst researchers and scientists to devise ways and means of improving processes that heavily rely on fossil fuels. The use of renewable sources to make chemicals and materials has received considerable attention as this alternative approach […]
