Global Energy Show Canada returns to Calgary from June 9 to 11, 2026, with clean technology again expected to be a major focus of the national energy event.
Hosted at Calgary’s BMO Centre, Global Energy Show Canada is expected to welcome more than 30,000 attendees, over 500 exhibitors, and delegates from more than 100 countries.
One of the award categories to watch this year is Emerging Clean Technologies, a hotly contested category that recognizes technologies and processes improving environmental performance or reducing the cost of production in the energy industry. Last year’s winner was Calgary’s Carbonova.
The category is focused on post-pilot technologies with proven environmental benefit, including innovations tied to energy efficiency, sustainable resource use, and environmental protection.
This year’s Canadian nominees provide strong geographic coverage, with companies from Calgary, Mississauga, Kitchener, and Saskatoon working across CO2 injection, green ammonia, industrial water treatment, and natural hydrogen.
Here’s a look at the four Canadian companies competing in the Emerging Clean Technologies category.
Cnergreen Corporation
Calgary-based Cnergreen is nominated for ArmorFoam, a nanoparticle-stabilized foam technology designed to improve the energy and environmental efficiency of oil recovery and CO2 injection operations. The system redirects injected fluids into under-swept reservoir zones, reducing excess water and gas cycling, lowering pumping and compression energy, and decreasing emissions intensity.
Hydrofuel Canada
Mississauga-based Hydrofuel Canada is nominated for its Micro Ammonia Production System, known as MAPS. The containerized system is designed to store electricity as green ammonia and can be deployed for renewable power grid stabilization, agricultural fertilizer production, and remote community energy storage, supporting flexible clean-energy applications at smaller scale.
H2nanO
H2nanO, based in Kitchener, is developing SolarPass, a passive photocatalytic water treatment platform for oil sands process-affected water. Using buoyant catalysts and natural solar UV light, SolarPass treats persistent contaminants without added chemicals, external energy, or complex infrastructure. The company has scaled the technology through a major pilot at Imperial’s Kearl site.
MAX Power Mining
Saskatoon-based MAX Power Mining is advancing one of Canada’s most intriguing emerging clean energy opportunities: natural hydrogen. The company has reported successful drilling and testing of the Lawson well near Central Butte, Saskatchewan, and is also advancing a second discovery well at Bracken. Natural hydrogen remains early, but it is attracting growing attention as a potential low-carbon energy source.
These nominees show the breadth of clean technology now being developed across Canada.
Some are focused on improving the environmental performance of existing energy operations. Others are advancing new clean energy pathways tied to hydrogen, ammonia, water treatment, and industrial decarbonization.
The winner will be announced at the Global Energy Show Canada awards luncheon on June 11.You can visit globalenergyshow.com for more information or to register for the event. Stay tuned to CleanEnergy.ca and Calgary.tech for more coverage of Global Energy Show Canada 2026.
