Low Emission Fuels and Products Technology Competition
About the Competition
POWERED BY
Competition Focus Areas
The competition was open to breakthrough technology solutions aligned with one or more of the following technology focus areas:
Innovative Products from Hydrocarbons
Technologies included in this focus area produce carbon-based non-combustion products, such as activated carbon, carbon fibre, and asphalt binders from petroleum and natural gas. Other examples of technologies included were new recovery techniques for elements like lithium, vanadium, titanium, or nickel recovered from co-produced hydrocarbons.
Hydrogen and Geothermal
Technologies included in this focus area develop cleaner energy opportunities from hydrocarbon-derived hydrogen and recovery of geothermal energy to optimize the utility of the oil and gas industry.
Low-Carbon Intensity Alternatives and New Fuels
Technologies included in this focus area develop products and processes that reduce fuels’ carbon intensity. Examples include innovative fuels and production of fuels from biogenic feedstocks potentially including waste products, bitumen partial upgrading, or other novel processes.
Carbon Capture and Utilization
Technologies included in this focus area reduce greenhouse gas emissions by capturing, utilizing and/or converting carbon dioxide.
