Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN)

Please note: CRIN follows Government of Canada approved methodologies that are 3rd party verified for substantiating environmental claims. However, recent amendments to Section 74.01(1) of the Competition Act have introduced uncertainties. Consequently, CRIN cannot currently publicly share environmental performance metrics for the projects we support. Once the Government of Canada clarifies what constitutes adequate and proper substantiation in accordance with internationally recognized methodology, CRIN will ensure all environmental benefit claims reporting comply with these standards and will again publish the data on our website and social media. For inquiries regarding environmental performance metrics, please contact a CRIN representative directly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause in the interim.

Thanks to all who joined our event with the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) on February 12 about how the AER can support innovators with regulatory questions. If you missed the webinar, you can find the recap, event recording, and presentation slides here: https://lnkd.in/gs7XgmT6

Growing the clean fuels market will help to build a sustainable, low-carbon future that will support Canadians through new jobs and economic opportunities and help reduce emissions across various sectors. Today, we announced the next call for proposals under the Clean Fuels Fund. This call includes funding for Indigenous- and non-Indigenous-led projects that will increase clean fuel production capacity. See if you’re eligible: https://ow.ly/8VXQ50UXLZr

A successful Kathairos Solutions project funded by CRIN resulted in the significant expansion of Kathairos’ methane-elimination technology, from operating on an initial six well sites to 1,500 over the two-year project duration. The Simple Methane Elimination Using Nitrogen project involved the commercial demonstration of Kathairos’ nitrogen-based methane elimination technology on 24 well sites with Cenovus and 30 sites with Ovintiv, all in the greater Grande Prairie region in Alberta and B.C. Kathairos’ technology uses liquid nitrogen, a non-toxic, non-polluting gas that constitutes 78% of the air we breathe, to power pneumatic devices at remote oil and gas well sites. By using liquid nitrogen, the need for methane as an instrument gas is eliminated, as is the need to vent the harmful gas after use. The project provided a meaningful reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while demonstrating to the international energy industry that methane vented from pneumatic devices on remote well sites can be reliably and affordably brought to zero.
