Hydro-Québec Announces $9B Wind Power Project
Hydro-Québec has announced its plans to create a $9-billion wind farm in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region that could become one of the largest in North America. The Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation, Atikamekw of Wemotaci and the municipality of Domaine-du-Roy, Que., announced a partnership with Hydro-Québec on Wednesday to develop the Chamouchouane zone. The area of 5,000 sq. km […]
Eight Universities Join Forces to Launch Forward-Thinking ‘Electric Vehicle Innovation Ontario’ Program
The federal government this month announced an investment into the University of Toronto. With the $2.5 million investment, U of T is slated to establish Electric Vehicle Innovation Ontario. Electric Vehicle Innovation Ontario, or EVIO, will aim to unite industry associations, economic development organizations, and employers to support the sector into the future, according to […]
Canadian Facility Opens to Fuel Innovation of Carbon Fibre, a ‘Catalyst’ for Cleantech
Alberta Innovates received $10 million from Prairies Economic Development Canada’s Regional Innovation Ecosystems program in 2024 to establish a specialized production and testing facility to commercialize technologies which convert locally-sourced bitumen into carbon fibre. The Edmonton-based facility this month officially opened its doors. The new facility, located at Alberta Innovates’ InnoTech hub, aims to help […]
BC Forest Report Says Waste Wood Could Deliver Jobs, Revenue, and Climate Benefits
British Columbia’s forest sector is facing a pivotal moment. Harvest levels have fallen to 32 million cubic metres and mill closures are mounting, putting thousands of jobs at risk. A new report argues the solution is hiding in plain sight: damaged and waste fibre left on the landscape. The BC Forest Leadership Report, supported by […]
NEO and Nascent Materials to Co-Develop Next-Gen Battery Tech for Drones and Data
NEO Battery Materials announced this week that it is working with a U.S.-based technology company specializing in the development and production of high-performance lithium-iron-phosphate cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Toronto’s NEO says it has entered into a Joint Product Development Agreement with Nascent Materials, which launched out of New Jersey last year to develop advanced […]
Moment Energy Raises $5M for Expansion
Vancouver-based Moment Energy has secured $5 million in growth financing from TD Innovation Partners, signaling strong support for one of North America’s emerging leaders in EV battery repurposing and clean energy storage. The investment from TD Innovation Partners (TDIP)—TD Bank’s innovation banking arm—reflects rising institutional backing for Canadian cleantech companies building the infrastructure needed for […]
Moment Partners to Deploy Clean Energy Storage Tech in Europe and Latin America
Wind- and solar-powered energy sources are gaining popularity in Canada as the nation advances toward a Net Zero target by 2050. But these intermittent sources, on their own, are not consistent enough to reliably fuel entire power grids. One way to fill the fluctuating energy gap is through energy storage systems. “Energy storage is pivotal […]
Canadian University Puts Eco-Footprint First with High-Tech, Energy-Efficient Expansion
The University of Victoria is expanding its Engineering and Computer Science Lab department with an eye toward Net Zero targets. Structural engineer Dialog and Bird Construction are erecting the 6,400-square-metre Engineering and Computer Science Expansion building as well as the 2,200-square-metre High Bay Research and Structures Lab building out of regionally sourced mass timber from […]
NEO Adds ‘Critical Component’ to Its Battery Innovation Platform with Oversea Expansion
Earlier this year, we reported on the unveiling of advanced technology from NEO Battery Materials. Shortly thereafter, the Toronto-based innovator secured eight acres of surplus lands near Windsor Airport in Ontario to establish Canada’s first advanced silicon anode manufacturing facility. “We are proud to be establishing Canada’s first advanced silicon anode manufacturing facility, enabling us […]
