Northwestern Polytechnic is home to a clean technology innovation laboratory that aims to develop clean power options in collaboration with industry partners. The laboratory is equipped with a 500W EFOY-Pro methanol fuel cell and a complete photovoltaic array or and a full photovoltaic array.

Additional proposed Northwestern Polytechnic projects include the design, development and testing of a compact mobile solar power plant. In addition, there are options for small off-highway electric vehicles. For more information on Northwestern Polytechnic’s research initiatives, news and opportunities, visit nwpolytech.ca/research.

Partnering with Alberta’s oil and gas industry in energy research and monitoring, InnoTech aims and works toward becoming the leading consultant for the energy industry when seeking innovative solutions. The Energy services division primarily serves the upstream (production), midstream (production fluids gathering/ distribution/processing), and downstream (upgrading and refinery) production segments of the oil and gas industry.
