Innovations in Clean Energy Technologies: A Comprehensive Exploration of Research at the Clean Energy Technologies Research Institute, University of Regina

Abstract

The Clean Energy Technology Research Institute (CETRI) at the University of Regina, Canada, serves as a collaborative hub where a dynamic team of researchers, industry leaders, innovators, and educators come together to tackle the urgent challenges of climate change and the advancement of clean energy technologies. Specializing in low-carbon and carbon-free clean energy research, CETRI adopts a unique approach that encompasses feasibility studies, bench-scale and pilot-plant testing, and pre-commercial demonstrations, all consolidated under one roof. This holistic model distinguishes CETRI, fostering a diverse and inclusive environment for technical, scientific, and hands-on learning experiences. With a CAD 3.3 million pre-commercial carbon capture demonstration plant capable of capturing 1 tonne of CO2 per day, and a feed-flexible hydrogen demonstration pilot plant producing 6 kg of hydrogen daily, CETRI emerges as a pivotal force in advancing innovative, reliable, and cost-competitive clean energy solutions, essential for a safe, prolific, and sustainable world. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse and impactful research carried out in the center, spanning various areas including decarbonization, zeroemission hydrogen technologies, carbon (CO2 ) capture utilization and storage, the conversion of waste into renewable fuels and chemicals, and emerging technologies such as small modular nuclear reactors and microgrids.
