About Us
GreenCentre Canada brings together academic researchers and industry partners in a common goal of developing clean, less energy-intensive alternatives to traditional chemical products and manufacturing processes. We provide a full suite of commercialization services that develop early-stage technologies to meet specific industrial needs and achieve the required magnitude of scale.
Our highly qualified team includes:
- Industry members who assess and validate technology opportunities;
- Commercialization managers with deep experience in chemistry and materials innovation;
- Scientific teams in catalysis, fine chemicals/pharmaceuticals, polymers and materials and petrochemicals; and
- Administrative support.
We are an all-in-one commercialization ‘ecosystem’ that includes everything from technical and market assessment, scale-up and testing to intellectual property protection, business management and financial resources. We want to ensure that breakthroughs in green chemistry translate into clean, sustainable products and processes that will benefit Canada and the world.
Funded by the governments of Ontario and Canada, GreenCentre is governed and operated with the assistance of industry members from across the chemical value chain. PARTEQ Innovations, the technology transfer office of Queen’s University, founded GreenCentre in 2009. GreenCentre’s product and application development activities are housed in an 8,000 square foot state-of-the-art wet and dry lab facility that includes solvent-handling systems, inert atmosphere glove boxes and standard analytical equipment. At the heart of the centre’s analytical lab is a 400 MHz multi-nuclear NMR spectrometer.
GreenCentre is located at Innovation Park at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
