InnoTech and C-FER Technologies Combined Site Tour

Part 1: InnoTech Site Tour
9:00am- 10:30am

InnoTech Alberta, a subsidiary of Alberta Innovates, offers applied research and technology development services across several economy sectors. With support from the Hydrogen Centre of Excellence, a funding initiative led by Alberta Innovates, and through internal research, InnoTech is developing several unique hydrogen technology development facilities, test equipment, and expertise at its Edmonton, Calgary, and Devon offices.

On the InnoTech tour stop, CHC delegates will visit InnoTech’s Edmonton main office, where they will see Canada’s first hydrogen purity analysis (specification) lab, carbon fibre preparation and 3D printing capabilities, and in-situ hydrogen production test rigs.

Part 2: C-FER Technologies Site Tour
10:30am- 12:00pm

Hydrogen and CCUS are poised to be fundamental to the global energy transition. For over 40 years, C-FER Technologies has been helping the energy industry evaluate and implement new technologies and support standardization development. C-FER Technologies’ experience and knowledge will help evaluate and optimize hydrogen and CCUS energy systems related to well and storage integrity, material compatibility, transmission feasibility, leak detection and repair, alternative materials evaluation, standards development, and risk management.

This 60-minute tour will feature C-FER’s new full-scale testing systems that can simulate hydrogen operating environments by subjecting full cross-section pipeline and underground hydrogen storage casing specimens real-world loads in up to 100% hydrogen and hydrogen plus hydrogen sulfide high-pressure gas environments.
