Reducing greenhouse gases by effectively capturing CO2 emissions Dr. Jason Clyburne of Saint Mary's University has discovered a green solvent system that can efficiently capture CO2 produced from burning coal and other industrial processes. Funded and recently in-licensed by GreenCentre, this unique technology uses less energy and fewer corrosive materials, and is less volatile than traditional scrubber systems, yet is capable of capturing significantly larger amounts of CO2 from flue gas emissions.

Minimizing waste and energy in the production of fine chemical and pharmaceutical compounds Dr. Steven Bergens of the University of Alberta has been awarded $50,000 in GreenCentre Proof of Principle funding to be directed at enhancing two green catalyst technologies. These technologies represent exciting examples of highly reusable catalysts as well as highly efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of amides and related species. Both systems will be applied to the development of commercially valuable pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and agricultural compounds.
