Verschuren Centre - Cape Breton University
Finding innovate and sustainable solutions to energy and environment issues.
Northern Energy Active
The applied research program is established to address the needs of the northern Canadian energy industry. Through academic partnerships with all three colleges in the Canadian territories, the industry-driven program is driven by the consensus of all four electric power utilities in the Canadian territories. The pertinent engineering research areas have been identified as:
Cold Climate Innovation Active
Innovation funding supports applied research, development and enhancement of applications and opportunities of cold climate, and technology innovations. Our funding provides seed money to help individuals and businesses establish partnerships and leverage funding from other sources for the development of innovative cold climate, and other, technology applications.
Yukon Research Centre - Yukon College
Solving northern problems with northern expertise.
Comminution Active
Projects aiming to optimize ore grinding conditions to obtain liberation and/or size distribution offering the greatest recovery during subsequent processing (flotation, physical separation, pelletizing and thermal processes) are being conducted in response to the industry’s requirements. These efforts include the development of simulators and on-line measuring and monitoring tools (sensors, software).
COREM
Providing a wide range of mineral processing and analytical services to companies.
Mitacs
Designing and delivering research and training programs in Canada.
NRCan Rare Earth Elements and Chromite R&D Program Active
The Canadian rare earth element (REE) and chromite R&D program emphasizes the need to develop, de-risk and demonstrate the technologies required to establish these industries and bring their products to market. Further, technologies will be developed and assessed hand-in-hand with environmental impacts, with a strict goal of establishing methods that minimize environmental impacts and establish appropriate methodologies to manage them.
Additional Information:
Energy Efficiency Inactive
This priority focuses on improving energy efficiency in mining and on mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through reducing the consumption of fossil fuels.
