Presenting ventures MaRS FOAK Lab ventures include: Carbonova transforms greenhouse gases into high-performance materials. The Calgary-based company’s catalytic process converts carbon dioxide and methane into carbon nanofibres while producing most of the energy needed itself. Exterra Technologies turns mine waste into critical minerals. The Montreal venture’s closed-loop system captures spent chemicals, regenerates them on-site and returns them to the processing plant, cutting costs and waste. Green Graphite Technologies, based in Montreal, is building a cost-effective and sustainable processing platform to supply lithium-ion battery-grade graphite for electric vehicles.
