Introduction

To expand into North America, ClimateDoor connected C-Green with Proteus Waters, creating a partnership focused on converting sewage sludge and other organic waste into hydrochar, supporting Canada’s circular economy and GHG reduction goals.

Goal/Opportunity

To establish C-Green’s technology in Canada, where it could address large-scale organic waste management and provide sustainable, low-carbon solutions.

Challenge

C-Green faced challenges in adapting its technology for the Canadian market, including regulatory compliance and securing initial funding for project implementation.

Solution

1. Partnership with Proteus Waters: Applied C-Green’s technology to upcycle sewage sludge in Canada.
2. Grant Sourcing: Targeted the Water Innovation Program, Net-Zero Transformation Fund, and Industrial Research Assistance Program to support the project.
3. Market Validation: Conducted feasibility assessments for Canadian market alignment and evaluated potential pilot projects.

Execution and Metrics

• Primary Funding Programs: Net-Zero Transformation Fund and Water Innovation Program ($500K potential)
• Emission Reduction Capability: 200 kg/CO2 per tonne of processed waste
• Local Partnerships: Established foundational connections for pilot project support

Results (with Metrics)

• Funding Secured: $500K in grant options
• GHG Reduction: 200 kg/CO2 per tonne of waste upcycled
• Pilot Project: Enabled hydrochar production as part of Canada’s circular economy efforts

Conclusion

ClimateDoor’s facilitation allowed C-Green to enter the Canadian market and demonstrate the effectiveness of its waste-to-hydrochar technology. This collaboration highlights C-Green’s potential to contribute to Canada’s sustainability goals, fostering innovation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
