Agreement Value:
$263,735.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 1, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021
Description:
The cornerstone of a sustainable closed-loop carbon cycle is an efficient, carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization technology. Solistra, a Canadian cleantech start-up, is developing such a technology. Solistra is a spin-off from the Solar Fuels Research Group at the University of Toronto led by Professor Geoffrey Ozin, developed a patented, solar-activated process for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane gas (CH4), the two most abundant GHGs, into a suite of low-carbon footprint chemicals and fuels. The next stage in development is turning Solistra’s benchtop process into a scaled-up version to lead then to commercialization of this technology. By partnering with NRC, this technology can be further developed, as it has the potential to curb the effects of climate change.
