Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01744, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Tan, Weixing (Grande Prairie Regional College), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Alberta, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Extend Innovation Enhancement Grants, program name french : Subvention de renforcement de l'innovation Continuité, program purpose english : NSERC CCI IE grant (2010-2016) supported by regional industry partners has enabled GPRC to advance its_x000D_
alpha model micro-algae photo-bioreactor (PBR) through rigorous scientific development and verification, into_x000D_
patent protected P2P Microalgae Technology poised for pre-commercialization. This development was in_x000D_
response to local needs for GHG emission control and economic development. Grande Prairie Regional_x000D_
College presents this business- and industry-driven Extend IE proposal to pre-commercialize our new P2P_x000D_
Microalgae Clean Technology to capture emitted pollutants and to decontaminate them into high-value_x000D_
bio-products. Industry funding partners are from the waste-to-energy, mining and forestry sectors. Two_x000D_
partners and one business developer (letter of support) are interested in the purchase and/ or commercialization_x000D_
of this technology. The project will enable set-up of a pre-commercial pilot located adjacent to one partner's_x000D_
green energy (biomass) power plant. Emitted flue gas will be directed into the PBR containing algae, water_x000D_
and nutrients. When exposed to sunlight, algae will photosynthesize (capture carbon other emitted air_x000D_
pollutants - releasing oxygen) transforming (decontaminating) them into valuable bio-products. This project_x000D_
will enable production scale verification of; capture efficacies (CO2 et al), bio-products generation, and the_x000D_
associated business costs (i.e. cost of production). GPRC fully supports this application because the P2P_x000D_
Initiative has 1) a strong scientifically-competent core research team under demonstrated leadership; 2)_x000D_
established world-class R&D resources and infrastructure in this subject area; 3) strong cash and in-kind_x000D_
contributions from long-term industry partners in engineering, business analysis, financing, and_x000D_
commercialization planning; and 4) the support from /regional industry and communities., program purpose french : NSERC CCI IE grant (2010-2016) supported by regional industry partners has enabled GPRC to advance its_x000D_
