Innovation Saskatchewan invests in energy research

Innovation Saskatchewan has recently announced two investments in energy-related research. The organization invested $400K into the Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, which was established by the University of Saskatchewan and the Government of Saskatchewan. The funds will be used to support nuclear research. $1.5M in funding has also been provided to the Petroleum Technology Research Centre—which has connections with the University of Regina—to establish the Energy Innovation Hub. This hub will support collaboration between researchers, municipalities, and industry as they engage in work to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and lessen the surface impact of oil recovery.
