Regina, Saskatchewan - PrairiesCan
The future of Canada's energy industry is being built right here in Saskatchewan. Efficient and effective energy production will increase productivity, improve business competitiveness, minimize environmental impacts and ensures Canada's energy security.
Today, the Honourable Terry Duguid, Minister for PrairiesCan, announced federal funding of $1,000,000 for the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) to develop an Energy Innovation Hub. This will allow PTRC to enhance physical research, testing, lab capabilities and training to support the evaluation and deployment of sustainable technologies in the energy sector.
The Energy Innovation Hub (EIH) will help a wide range of organizations in sectors including energy production, business, mining, academia, and policy development. The EIH seeks to encourage collaborative energy research between universities, industry and governments, and plays a key role in supporting energy transformation initiatives to help Canada's energy sector move toward a sustainable, more efficient future. The EIH's services will include research and development, testing new and improved technologies, evaluating the potential of sustainable energy projects, geological core analyses and computed tomography (CT) scanning, education and training opportunities.
