We are committed to a future where the environmental and economic challenges of the energy and mining industries have been solved. In collaboration with our partners, our diverse and resourceful team is helping to achieve this by applying scientific principles, bringing our knowledge to practice and connecting partners with shared interests. This will lead to the restoration of pristine, functional landscapes for Albertans.
We bridge the gap between existing environmental research and relevant solutions in the energy and mining industries, taking innovative ideas from bench to scale-up. We work with businesses and industry to develop technologies that improve the economic and environmental performance of industry.
The Centre for Energy and Environmental Sustainability is part of a network of 60 TACs across the country. As a TAC, we help Canadian-based businesses get their products, processes and services market-ready by:
Conducting applied research to develop solutions that address company challenges.
