GE Using Nanotechnology to Green the Alberta Oil Sands
With support from Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC), GE is working with the University of Alberta and Alberta Innovates Technology Futures to develop CO2 capture technology that could be used to reduce carbon emissions in the Oil Sands. In the future, this technology could support CO2 capture in power plants (e.g. the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant pictured at right) and also be used in water treatment processes. Pictured left is the natural zeolite materials that GE and its project partners are basing their membrane technology on.
