Discover innovative projects that are driving the clean energy transition.
Air Products is building a landmark clean hydrogen energy complex in the Edmonton Region with government support. The $1.6 billion project will start with a hydrogen production and liquefaction facility, utilizing advanced technology.
Dow to build a net-zero facility in Alberta's Industrial Heartland, that will produce 3.2 million metric tonnes of polyethylene and ethylene derivatives. The project will also modernize it's existing facility to produce net-zero carbon emissions.
Linde has announced plans for a $2 billion state-of-the-art clean hydrogen production facility, which is part of its long-term agreement to supply DOW with clean hydrogen for its Path2Zero project.
Heidelberg Materials is setting a global benchmark by creating the world’s first full-scale carbon capture initiative at a cement plant. This pioneering facility aims to capture over 1 million tonnes of CO2 annually from cement production.
Varme Energy, in partnership with Gibson Energy, is developing a waste-to-energy project in Alberta's Industrial Heartland in the Edmonton Region. It will be Canada's first greenfield waste-to-energy facility with integrated carbon capture and is projected to transform 200,000 tonnes of household waste into clean, reliable energy each year.
