Introduction
As a global leader in technology and research on oil sands and heavy oil, Alberta is at the forefront of technologies such as gasification, upgrading, carbon capture and storage, advanced recovery, water use, tailings management and alternative energy. This unique world expertise has fostered Alberta's commitment to the "science of solutions" related to all areas of energy and the environment. As a result, our researchers, entrepreneurs, and businesses are setting global standards for reducing environmental impacts and supporting the development of greener communities.
Alberta Innovates - Energy and Environment Solutions is a dynamic catalyst for developing innovative, integrated ways to convert our natural resources into market-ready, ecologically responsible energy. Our collaborators include large companies and consortia, such as Helmholtz Association, Opti-Nexen, and Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne. In our work, we apply scientific rigour in assessing and selecting technologies and partners that will advance best-available global technologies. Some of our most innovative collaborations are pursuing the next wave of solutions, including expanding the range of renewable energy technologies, such as waste-to-biofuels, geothermal and hydrogen systems.
In keeping with Alberta's commitment to open innovation, Alberta Innovates - Energy and Environment Solutions ensures that all non-proprietary knowledge on clean energy technology is shared to help speed up technology development worldwide. Together, we can enhance the economic, environmental and social well-being of all - Albertans, Canadians, and those beyond our borders.
Alberta Innovates - Energy and Environment Solutions builds on the strengths and successes of the former Alberta Energy Research Institute and now includes the Alberta Water Research Institute.
