Program Purpose:

Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) in collaboration with Spartan Controls Ltd. will investigatex000D
the utilization of various concentrations of methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), as fuel in an innovativex000D
direct methane Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) to produce electricity and evaluate usable energy conversion andx000D
emission reduction. The proposed project is the first phase of a multi-year innovative applied research initiativex000D
to develop an integrated direct methane SOFC system for use on well pads at the conventional oil and gas andx000D
oil sands operations in Western Canada.
