Alberta Clean Energy Technology Accelerator (ACETA)

Ibrahim Karidio and Ellen Tian

The Alberta Clean Energy Technology

Accelerator (ACETA) is a cross institutional

hub that is being developed by the City of

Edmonton, InnoTech Alberta-Vegreville, the

University of Alberta’s Future Energy

Systems and CanmetEnergy-Devon to

create a World-leading clean energy

technology accelerator, for piloting and

scaling-up of innovations in biomass,

municipal solid waste, renewable gas

utilisation as well as hydrocarbon processing

and upgrading technologies.

All West Bio-Industrial Park

Tom Ogaranko and Chris Olson

The All West Bio-Industrial Park is a field demonstration site with available office space

and field demonstration space for commercially ready companies that are aligning

innovative waste management practices with promising bio-industrial technologies and

processes.

Saskatchewan Research

Council’s CeDER (Centre for

the Demonstration of

Emissions Reductions)

Erin Powell

SRC’s CeDER (Centre for the

Demonstration of Emission Reductions) a

mobile field-ready platform that is used to

evaluate the performance of emissions

reduction technologies in real-world field

environments.

CMC Research Institutes’ Carbon

Capture and Conversion Facility

Brian Mellor

CMC Research Institutes' Carbon Capture and

Conversion facility in Richmond, B.C. provides

prototype design, fabrication and plug-and-play

testing for technologies that captures and converts

carbon into commercial products.

CMC CaMI Field Research

Station

Greg Maidment

At CMC Research Institutes’ state-of-the-

art Field Research Station, we assist

technology developers and industry end

users to develop leading edge

measurement and monitoring

technologies.

SAIT Green Building

Technologies

Ben Hildebrandt

The Green Building Technologies research

initiative works with industry partners and

students to help develop new products,

technologies and processes, enhancing

the commercialization of green

technologies in Canada while

fundamentally changing the way we build,

educate and develop skilled labour.

The Alberta Carbon

Conversion Technology

Centre (ACCTC)

Harold Krenkel

The ACCTC will help accelerate the

development of GHG-reduction

technologies and facilitate commercial

adoption by de-risking viable

technologies designed to produce

valuable products from GHG feedstock.

SSRIA Green Building

Technology Network

Tanya Doran

A testbed of projects that will, through

collaboration, identify and implement

energy conservation measures, modelling,

monitoring and metering to validate

improving energy efficiency to significantly

reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

NAIT Centre for Grid

Innovation

Darren Dunfield

The Centre for Grid Innovation (CGI) at

NAIT is a new non-academic research

facility directly supporting the innovation

needs of industry by being structured to

move prototype distributed energy

innovations toward commercial

deployment.
