Clean water technologies

Clean water technologies

Our researchers are working to target and destroy specific contaminants - unwanted chemicals and pharmaceuticals - found in water. Pilot-scale tests of biotechnological wastewater-treatment solutions are taking place in partnership with the City of Calgary at the Advancing Canadian Wastewater Assets facility. 

Analyzing energy alternatives

Analyzing energy alternatives

Joule Bergerson is collaborating internationally, developing ways to analyze new energy systems - before an investment is made. Her research is helping policy and decision makers look at the implications of new energy technologies over their entire life cycle.

Integrating renewable energy

Integrating renewable energy

Ed Nowicki is working with researchers from around the world to solve the issue of integrating renewable energy systems into the grid. He and his team of graduate students are designing inverters that have possible applications for wind-fed electrical generation systems.
