CERC Outcomes
The CERC program has helped advance the University of Calgary’s strategic goals in energy research, developing national and international partnerships and spearheading large initiatives such as the application for the Global Research Initiative. With an emphasis on innovation in Canada, the CERC program has increased the focus on producing intellectual property, yielding two pending patents to date, and has initiated commercialization activities for two different technologies.
CERC Startups
Adjacency Labs Corp.
Adjacency Labs Corp. developed technology that is the only known solvent for extracting kerogen from surface and subsurface oil shale.
