The New Generation of Energy Storage
As heavy industries around the world continue to strive for cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally friendly energy storage, plenty of options in addition to cogeneration, or combined heat and power (the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time), are emerging.

The world is in debate, and the subject is energy, whether traditional fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, or solar, wind, geothermal, and other renewables. Meanwhile, regulators and power producers alike search for the holy grail that is a lower-carbon economy.
Borea Construction
As Canada works toward total carbon neutrality by 2050, a future rich in renewable energy moves ever closer. Canada’s largest renewable-energy constructor, Borea Construction, is making renewable energy more accessible and smaller in size and environmental impact than ever before.
La Granaudière
The La Granaudière renewable energy project is currently underway in the Saint Michel des Saints region of Québec.

After more than five years of planning, the development broke ground in September of 2019 and is expected to be complete by end of the summer of this year.
AdvancedAg
Canada is one of the world’s biggest food producers, responsible for nutritious crops like wheat, corn, canola, rye, malt barley, soybeans, beets, and potatoes, to name a few. Pulses such as peas and lentils, chickpeas and beans—staples of Canadian farmers—are packed full of health-giving protein, fibre, and iron.
CLAAS of America

EVs in Resource Operations
Once thought of as something from the future, electric vehicles (EVs) are now here to stay. While rechargeable batteries are nothing new and can be found in everything from smartphones to handheld drills, vast improvements in technology have made rechargeable batteries lighter and smaller, yet with the strength to power mining trucks and other heavy stuff. Batteries that seemingly took forever to charge and with little operating time are yielding to batteries with much shorter charging times, longer-lasting charges, and better lifespans.
