Scaling Up Production of Carbon Nanofibers from Greenhouse Gases$500Kvalue2023start2025end

The main project scope is to successfully design a, commercial scale unit that produces scalable quantities of CNFs for our customers. We will optimize the existing pilot plant by adjusting operating conditions and making minor design changes to produce the optimum, most economically feasible carbon product for potential customers in order to backstop purchase orders and/or product development agreements to support financing of the new commercial unit.

Carbonova Next Generation Reactor Design & CNF Validation$200Kvalue2025start2026end

This project will develop a next-generation reactor that transforms syngas from waste CO2 and methane into valuable carbon nanofibers. The work will advance design concepts and early testing of key systems to improve efficiency, consistency, and safety. By converting greenhouse gases into high-value materials, the project will support Canadian leadership in clean technology, open new opportunities in advanced manufacturing, and create future jobs in the sustainable materials sector.

Scaling Up Production of Carbon Nanofibers from Greenhouse Gases$196Kvalue2025start2025end

Carbonova Corp. is a technology company commercializing a chemical process that uses greenhouse gasses and natural gas as a feedstock to produce sustainable and economical carbon nanofibers.

Catalyst upgrade and developing industrially scalable formulation$80.0Kvalue2021start2022end

This project aims to optimize and upgrade the formulation of catalysts for carbon formation. The current formulation recipe had drawbacks of slow production, high wastewater content, and fast degradation and the need for homogenization. This project targets to re-evaluate the formulation, steps of preparation, optimize the concentration and the size of each batch with a goal to make the production industrially scalable. The catalyst will be evaluated in the production of CNF and the results will be used to optimize the formulation and method of production.

Scale-up of carbon nanofibers producing prototype$50.0Kvalue2020start2021end

This project aims to derisk Carbonova's new technology in producing carbon nanofibers/nanotubes from greenhouse gases. In particular, during this project, the prototype for the scale-up process will be developed for generating carbon nanofibers. This project targets to advance the engineering design of the scale-up process, build the prototype in the modular form and test the prototype. Eventually, this project will result in a system with a higher capacity and higher rate of production for CNF production.

Innovation Assistance Program – Round 2$14.4Kvalue2020start2020end

The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.

Carbonova Corp.-2021-2022-977585$11.2Kvalue2021start2022end

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

Innovation Assistance Program$10.2Kvalue2020start2020end

The funding provided by the IAP program is intended to assist innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the start-up phase that cannot access existing commercial support related to COVID-19.

Innovation Assistance Program – Round 2.5$5.4Kvalue2020start2021end

The funding provided from the Innovation Assistance Program is to assist innovative, early-stage small- and medium-sized enterprises that are unable to access existing COVID-19 business support.
