Research & Technology
Greenhawk Energy Solutions is advancing four transformative pilot projects designed to clean up Alberta’s oil sands while recovering high-value critical minerals and reducing environmental impact. Built using proven Alberta-based systems, our technologies are deployable with minimal retrofitting, low chemical input, and fast commercialization timelines.
01
Critical Mineral Recovery
-
Recovers vanadium, titanium, and rare earth elements (REEs) from petroleum coke and tailings
-
Generates up to $600/tonne in mineral value
-
Supports domestic supply chains for future energy applications
02
Bitumen De-Metallization
-
Removes vanadium and nickel to reduce catalyst fouling by up to 90%
-
Unlocks battery-grade vanadium purification
-
Increases refining efficiency and reduces waste
03
Tailings Pond Remediation
-
Uses cavitation and magnetic separation to treat up to 30 million litres/day
-
Reduces toxic tailings volumes by up to 70%
-
Accelerates land reclamation timelines by 50%
04
Flare Gas-to-Fuel Conversion
-
Captures flare gas and converts it into synthetic diesel or hydrogen-based fuels
-
Converts up to 95% of waste gas into usable energy
-
Modular system ideal for remote sites and Indigenous communities
02
Transforming Innovation Into Impact — One Stage at a Time
01
Technology Validation
