NRC researcher assessing the conductivity of various potential membrane materials. |
Opportunities for collaborative research between NRC-IFCI and industry partners exist wherever there are common technical objectives or where the unique expertise of the Institute provides an effective match for industrial requirements. These partnerships enable the parties to share and reduce their risk as well as the cost of performing research and development.
NRC-IFCI maintains testing and evaluation facilities including nine hydrogen-ready labs, a membrane electrode assembly facility, a new Hydrogen Environmental Chamber (HEC) and an industrial incubator for early stage companies.
NRC-IFCI also has the facilities and capabilities to host integrated technology demonstration projects, with a primary objective to address both technical and non-technical barriers to deployment of fuel cell, hydrogen and clean energy technologies. This demonstration centre provides an excellent platform for demonstrating a wide range of clean and alterative energy technologies.
In addition to the research areas listed above, the Institute has a Mining Wear Materials Program, which aims to reduce the severe wear damage and related high costs and production losses that occur in mining and mineral processing.![]() |
