Saskatchewan Research Council
Launched 2016
Executive Summary
The Saskatchewan Research Council, in conjunction with PTAC and other industry partners, launched the Centre for the Demonstration of Emissions Reductions (CeDER) initiative in 2016. CeDER is a Saskatchewan-based test and validation platform managed and led by SRC that provides real-world testing, demonstration and validation of emissions measurement, reduction, capture and conversion technologies. CeDER is a stage-gated, fee-for-service platform and offers independent, industry recognized, third-party validation aimed at accelerating the commercialization and field deployment of viable greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction technologies.
The CeDER platform consists of a range of integrated services and capabilities, including expertise in mining, process optimization, clean and renewable energy, to help reduce emissions. CeDER is focused on methane emission reductions for this sector. CeDER can test and validate emissions technologies for low and high-volume sources, from fugitive to process venting.
