How one non-profit is pairing up industry and academia in a bid to boost innovation in Canada.
Carbon Engineering’s pilot plant in Squamish, British Columbia, sucks carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. But that’s only the first step. The company will soon begin work on how to combine the captured greenhouse gas with hydrogen to create synthetic gasoline.
It’s a big idea that has attracted significant investments from Bill Gates and other high-profile backers. To bolster its research capacity, the Calgary-based startup turned to Mitacs, a national non-profit organization that builds bridges between industry and academia.
