De-risking investments in cleantech

Canada’s oil and gas sector has ambitious targets to reduce emissions and be a global leader in producing clean hydrocarbons for energy and other uses.

Clean technology companies across the country, internationally and on academic campuses may have little direct experience with the regionally concentrated oil and gas sector. This creates a technical and cultural communications gap that can make collaboration challenging.

Similarly, young professionals outside of oil and gas are not aware of the extent and pace of innovation within the oil and gas sector, or of the opportunities for material beneficial environmental impact through professional work focused on the oil and gas sector.

Canada Cleantech Alliance’s “Accelerating Cleantech Innovation in Oil & Gas” program, a collaboration with the Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN), is designed to de-risk investments in clean technology for oil & gas companies. It will mobilize and support cleantech innovators to deliver and successfully commercialize innovations that can reduce the oil & gas sector’s emissions and footprint from source to end use.

The program consists of six components:

• January 2022: Program launch
• January/February 2022: Application period for cleantech companies with solutions (TRL 2-5) in one or more of CRIN’s seven Technology Theme Areas. Apply here.
• March 2022: Innovation in oil & gas training for selected ventures (in collaboration with Foresight Canada)
• April 2022: Pitch Training for short-listed ventures (in collaboration with Cycle Momentum)
• April 2022: Pitch Session
• May 2022: Mentorship Program launch (in collaboration with Foresight Canada)

Discover the steps you can take to secure your first pilot customer.

About the Workshop

In this virtual workshop led by Eric Siegel, we will discuss how you can secure your first pilot customer for your ocean business. The session will help you determine which customers will make good pilot partners and which you should steer away from. You will be given tools to develop customer commitment and understand what value you should expect to receive from a pilot. We will address common terms of engagement for pilots, how you can develop letters of intent (LOIs), and some tactics to convert pilots into more sales.

Sponsored by techNL and Noia, the Digital Oil and Gas Initiative (DOI) is launching a Digital Awareness Campaign that will aim to build awareness, educate, and increase knowledge of role of Artificial Intelligence (Ai) in the offshore oil and gas industry.

The first of three webinars is happening on Wednesday February 9th at 1:00 NST: Ai in Oil and Gas – An Overview

The Oil and Gas industry is typically cast as a slow adopter of innovation, particularly innovations that originate from outside the industry. One technology that bucks that narrative is artificial intelligence and machine learning. Oil and gas is rapidly exploiting this class of technologies at pace with other industries. This presentation will provide an overview of the world of AI and ML, key definitions, the use cases in oil and gas, and the adoption challenges.

Presented by Geoffrey Cann, an author, educator, and professional speaker. His passion is the Oil and Gas industry, essential to our modern industrial society, and its imperative to exploit digital innovations as we slowly transition to new fuels.

Registration is available here.

This webinar campaign will be available to both energy and tech professionals interested in learning more about Ai in Oil and Gas.

Together with Canada’s Ocean Supercluster we are pleased to partner on the Ocean Innovation and Greening Canada’s Economy event on February 8, 2022. This event will feature an interactive panel discussion with leaders from across the country who are contributing to ocean solutions on the path to net-zero. In addition, the Ocean Supercluster will also announce its largest project to date.

Join us on Tuesday, February 8 at 1:00 p.m.
