NRG is leading customer-driven change in the U.S. energy industry by delivering cleaner and smarter energy choices, while building on the strength of the nation’s largest and most diverse competitive power portfolio. More information is available at www.nrg.com.
COSIA (Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance) is an alliance of 13 oil sands producers, representing 90 percent of production from the Canadian oil sands, focused on collaborative action and innovation in the areas of greenhouse gases, land, tailings and water.

Up to $20 million in federal and provincial funding was announced today by the Honourable Kent Hehr on behalf of the Government of Canada, and the Honourable Deron Bilous on behalf of the Government of Alberta,
for the development of the Alberta Carbon Conversion Technology Centre (ACCTC).
The ACCTC will be one of the few places in the world where carbon conversion technologies can be tested at a commercial scale, and NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE finalists will be the first tenants to test their solutions in the natural gas track of the Carbon XPRIZE.

Launched in September 2015, the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE competition addresses global CO2 emissions by incentivizing innovative solutions to convert CO2 from a liability into an asset. The four-and-a-half-year competition..

CarbonCure’s technology is a retrofit for existing concrete plants, which allows them to sequester waste carbon dioxide to make greener, stronger concrete that is less expensive to manufacture.
CarbonCure’s bolt-on technology has already been installed in 40+ concrete plants and is poised to scale globally.


Mantra appears to be on Team CarbonCure, as well as others at CCCI

•The Carbon XPRIZE Competition challenges companies to develop new technologies converting CO2 emissions from electricity generation and oil and gas production into new products.
•This is an example of federal-provincial collaboration to advance shared priorities for action under the Pan-Canadian Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change.
•This investment will help Canada meet its international Mission Innovation commitment to double its funding for clean energy and clean technology research and development, to $775 million by 2020.

•collaborate on innovative carbon-use technologies at a large industrial scale
•test the conversion of carbon dioxide into usable products that would result in new revenue opportunities

This research could bring new building materials, fuels and consumer goods to market.
