OzoneBio is at the forefront of developing sustainable materials through an innovative, emission-free process for producing bio-adipic acid, a key monomer in the production of Nylon 66. This project addresses the urgent global need to replace traditional petroleum-based polymers with bio-based alternatives that significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Leveraging wood waste, a renewable resource, OzoneBio’s technology eliminates nitrous oxide emissions, which are 300 times more potent than CO2. The company’s goal is to provide a scalable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solution to industries such as textiles, automotive, and construction.

ROCarbon offers plug and play carbon marketplaces backed by our proprietary digitized measurement, reporting, and verification tool to ensure project claims are accurate. We are building this platform to stamp out the faulty, estimated data that makes up ~90% of carbon market claims. The Beta we build with this funding will enable a client to whitelabel a carbon marketplace where they can invite their supply chain partners onto to upload the sustainability projects they would like funded. For the whitelabeling company, they get a tool to see where their biggest decarbonization opportunities lie in their supply chain, that enables them control over their supplier emissions, and the ability to make claims about meeting their climate targets.

To develop the cutting strategy, prototype and test the cutting head, and preliminary design of processing and packaging equipment.

SeeO2 Energy Inc., a Calgary-based company, pioneering solutions to transform greenhouse gases into valuable clean fuels and chemicals. Our technology leverages reversible solid oxide fuel cell (RSOFC) technology to perform efficient high temperature electrolysis. An RSOFC consists of an electrolyte sandwiched between electrodes which are then coupled to an interconnect using a contact paste material (CPM). The system uses electricity and heat to convert CO2 and/or H2O to produce H2, CO or syngas (H2 + CO). These products are critical for industries like steel manufacturing, green plastics, utilities, energy companies and chemical industries.

Flavin Naturals aims to scale-up production of a dairy-based yogurt product through this project.

Transportation Engine project, Egistix is enhancing its Everest platform to meet the sustainable trading needs of the biofuels, reclamation and other sectors. The Transportation Engine project is the first phase, focusing on migrating the transportation engine in our legacy Commodity Trading and Risk Management (CTRM) system to the Everest platform. It utilizes artificial intelligence to modify the underlying codebase to be compatible with Saas. By replacing carbon-intensive manual processes with scalable, cloud-based compliance tracking and real-time emissions reporting tools, it enables a faster transition to sustainable commodity trading.

The project will focus on the development of AI-powered functionality to automate manual tasks of Revenue Operations (RevOps) teams.

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.
