This catalyst offers an alternative to ruthenium based catalysts used on dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) technology. These catalysts show promise in providing greater energy conversion as well as the potential for new applications such as transparent solar cells that can be used anywhere clear glass is used. Details: Dr. Louis Barriault of the University of Ottawa’s Centre for Catalysis Research and Innovation developed this family of dimeric gold catalysts and demonstrated a current in a small DSSC set up.

3Wayste® is an innovative, patented waste management system capable of treating 100 per cent of municipal solid waste (MSW) while profitably revalorizing more than 90 per cent for clean energy fuel, pure compost and raw materials. The unprecedented level of revalorization means less landfills, less incinerators and less greenhouse gas emissions.

CTCN Network member Econoler was selected to provide technical services to develop a pilot Energy Service Company (ESCO) for the cement industry in Viet Nam.

A side wall (22) of a filter structure for a particle filter in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is produced in that a filter material (38) with a support structure (42) is connected. In particular the method comprises the steps of: A producing (32) a mixture (34) at least from a sintered metal powder (26) and an organic binder (28). b. Establishing (36) a film (38) from the mixture (34); c. Laminating (40) the film (38) on the piece structure (42) and d. sintering (46).
