Cleantech Components
Context – EU energy costs are significantly higher than Canada’s and as such EU advantages in high efficiency components provide an advantage. Canadian companies are rapidly innovating in a range of cleantech verticals and increasingly looking to scale and manufacture these solutions but face various supply chain shortage and complexities.
- Example organizations: https://terrafixing.com/ or https://advantecindustrial.com/
Problem Statement – Many Canadian companies are in need of higher performance, sensitivity, efficiency and cost-effective sensors, control systems, and components (e.g., fans, belts, compressors).
Technical Parameters/Response Criteria – High performance sensors, control systems, and components.
Indicative solutions of Interest:
- High efficiency fans.
- Valves.
- Compressors.
- Precision sensors.
The Opportunity – An example includes methane monitoring and mitigation (Canada has recently increased the monitoring requirements from 10kg/h to 1kg/hr and requires a reduction of 75% in the leakage rate by 2030). In addition, hydrogen production and other gas solutions require components such as compressors that are in short supply across Canada.
