Grants and Contributions

To develop intuitive software which leverages automated methods to calculate, validate, & share the environmental impacts of an individual product.

To directly integrate supplier and customer life-cycle inventory data into product carbon footprint models, reducing data collection effort, providing a network effect benefit, and improving result accuracy.

As part of the international consortium project “H2CliP”, this project will focus on identifying the optimal conditions for increasing the cost-effectiveness of hydrogen technologies and pathways, shaping new integrated hydrogen networks. We aim to develop a unified approach within a multi-scale and multi-scenarios modeling tool and use them to deliver climate policies impact analysis and use cases to demonstrate how low cost low-carbon H2 technologies can be incorporated into our economies. For this purpose, feasibility studies, life cycle analyses and integrated transformation paths simulated with carbon footprints will be used. The optimization scope will cover hydrogen, electricity, and natural gas to leverage energy systems synergies.

As part of the international consortium project “H2CliP”, this project will focus on the optimal role for hydrogen in achieving net zero targets in Canada and Germany. The objective is to identify the optimal conditions for increasing the cost-effectiveness of hydrogen technologies and pathways, shaping new integrated hydrogen networks.

Conduct a series of test days where the equipment will be used by workers in place of their usual power units. Measure equipment performance and document worker feedback during these periods to assess product reliability and identify potential improvements for users. The tests will be conducted in all weather conditions in collaboration with three partner cities: Lévis, Sainte-Julie and L'Assomption.

Development and full scale testing of a 6" nominal diameter compressed air pressure actuated valve with quick change out of the consumable sleeve directly on the pipe.

The development of SentientQ – a new approach to monitoring and controlling mission-critical infrastructure delivering industry disruptive improvements in cyber security, safety, scale of deployment, and reliability. SentientQ extends the world of SCADA to provide a completely refreshed control management infrastructure including industrialized adaptations of technologies such as machine learning, IoT, Safety Integrity Systems (SIL), security architectures, dynamic security monitoring, blockchain, and the technologies that power the cloud.

The 2 Youth graduates will work on Spiderwort’s cellulose-based material development.

Analysis of current or potential reductions of GHG emissions, and environmental benefits of new innovative solutions.

The Hive is an automated storage and retrieval system for garments on hangers. The firm wants to improve several aspects of the system that require testing due to the uncertainty associated with these changes.

The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging disease threatening tomato industry by deteriorating fruit quality, reducing shelf life and making fruits unmarketable from 30% to 70%. ToBRFV can overcome all known genetic resistance genes resulting in all commercial tomato varieties being susceptible to the virus. Efforts to manage ToBRFV currently focus on using certified seed and maintaining strict biosecurity and sanitation practices. We have developed some attenuated ToBRFV strains that will be tested for the efficacy to protect tomato plants from the infection of wild-type ToBRFV in a commercial greenhouse.
