  • Decarbonizing Heavy-Duty Transportation Through Hydrogen-Diesel Innovation

    Heavy-duty vehicles play a critical role in transportation, construction, and industry, but they are also a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Many fleets rely on diesel equipment with long lifespans, and replacing these vehicles with low-emission alternatives can be costly and slow, creating a barrier to immediate emissions reductions. Diesel Tech Industries is addressing…

  • Clean Energy Improvement Program

    For many homeowners and businesses, the upfront cost of energy efficiency upgrades can be a challenge. Improvements like insulation, solar PV systems, or heating system upgrades often require a significant investment even though they can lower energy bills and improve comfort over time.  The Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP), administered by Alberta Municipalities, offers a flexible way…

  • Home Upgrades Program

    For many lower-income households in Alberta, high energy bills are driven by older, inefficient homes that are expensive to heat and maintain. These households face a disproportionate energy burden, often spending a higher share of their income on utilities while lacking access to the capital required for upgrades. Without the means to make upgrades, energy…
