Mangrove raises $3M from BDC Capital to accelerate deployment of battery-grade lithium processing systems
Canada-based Mangrove Lithium closed a $3-million financing from BDC Capital’s Cleantech Practice. Mangrove is the developer of a modular platform for the cost-effective production of battery-grade lithium hydroxide. Its electrochemical innovation simplifies existing processes and can directly refine input streams from brine, hard-rock, clay and geothermal assets.
Mangrove’s modular solution can be scaled to any capacity and co-located with upstream lithium producers or cathode and cell manufacturers. The platform technology is also being commercialized for conversion of waste brines to chemicals and desalinated water.

Siemens, TC Energy in Waste-Heat-to-Power Project
Houston-based Siemens Energy said February 12 it had entered into an agreement with Canada’s TC Energy to build a first-of-its-kind waste-heat-to-power facility in Alberta using supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO
2).
The facility will capture waste heat from a gas-fired turbine operating at a TC Energy compressor station and convert it into emissions-free power. The electricity produced will be put back into the Alberta power grid, resulting in estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions of 44,000 metric tons/year.
Siemens Energy will build, own and operate the facility, with the option for ownership to be transferred back to TC Energy at a later date. It is expected to be commissioned towards the end of 2022.

Siemens Energy has signed an agreement with Canada-based TC Energy Corporation to commission a waste heat-to-power pilot installation in Alberta. The facility will capture waste heat from a gas-fired turbine operating at a pipeline compression station and convert it into emissions-free power. The electricity produced will be put back into the grid, resulting in estimated greenhouse gas reductions of 44,000 tons per year.
As part of the agreement with TC Energy, Siemens Energy will build, own, and operate the facility, with the option for ownership to be transferred back to TC Energy at a later date.
At the heart of the facility will be an heat recovery process designed by Siemens Energy. The patented technology, licensed under Echogen Intellectual Property, is based on an advanced Rankine Cycle and uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) as the working fluid to convert waste heat into power. Because of its properties, sCO2 can interact more directly with the hea
Government, Resource, Technology
DCN-JOC News Services February 9, 2021 PROVINCE OF ALBERTA Alberta government officials watch a demonstration from natural gas experts. The province recently announced funding to research ways to cut emissions when transporting gas through pipelines.
CALGARY Alberta officials will invest nearly $2 million in funding to help accelerate the adoption of new technologies to cut down on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from natural gas pipelines.
Funds have been awarded to Gazoduq Inc. through Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA). The $4 million project will investigate the feasibility of leveraging electrification, artificial intelligence and machine learning to decarbonize natural gas pipelines from Alberta to Quebec.
