The NSERC Extend Innovation Enhancement initiative "Green Chemistry for the Valorization of Resource Industry By-Products" is designed to expand and consolidate NAIT's applied research capacity for the benefit of companies developing technologies to transform waste materials from the provincial resource sectors into chemicals for use in the energy and natural gas sectors. These chemicals will displace fossil-derived equivalents, reduce energy consumption at the natural gas extraction and processing sites and divert residual materials and waste streams from the landfill while creating new market opportunities. The initiative will eliminate a major barrier to the utilization of these by-products by carrying out in-depth physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization. The program will generate practical knowledge on how to transform these materials into chemicals, placing special focus on the production of materials for environmental applications in the energy sector. The outcome of this work will make lasting impacts in Canada, supporting the early adoption of chemicals that will lower the environmental footprint of the oil and natural gas industry while reducing operating costs.The NAIT research team will mentor students, offer seasonal employment, and add to NAIT's curricula in chemical technology; petroleum, geotechnical and chemical engineering; nanotechnology; and biological technologies programs. Knowledge dissemination, beyond the NAIT community, to industry groups, government representatives, and First Nations peoples will also be a major priority of the initiative. Dissemination of the results and outcomes of the research will support the rapid adoption of new technologies that will improve the resource sectors' economic and environmental performances in Canada.

NSERC 扩展创新增强计划“资源工业副产品增值的绿色化学”旨在扩大和巩固 NAIT 的应用研究能力，以造福那些开发技术将省级资源部门的废料转化为化学品的公司。能源和天然气行业。这些化学品将取代化石衍生产品，减少天然气开采和加工场所的能源消耗，并转移垃圾填埋场的残留材料和废物流，同时创造新的市场机会。该计划将通过深入的物理、化学和矿物学表征来消除这些副产品利用的主要障碍。该计划将产生有关如何将这些材料转化为化学品的实用知识，特别关注能源领域环境应用材料的生产。这项工作的成果将对加拿大产生持久影响，支持化学品的早期采用，从而降低石油和天然气行业的环境足迹，同时降低运营成本。NAIT 研究团队将指导学生，提供季节性就业，并增加NAIT 的化学技术课程；石油、岩土和化学工程；纳米技术;和生物技术计划。除了 NAIT 社区之外，向行业团体、政府代表和原住民传播知识也将是该倡议的一个主要优先事项。研究成果的传播将支持新技术的快速采用，从而改善加拿大资源部门的经济和环境绩效。
