Whether maximizing potential for use of wind, solar, geothermal, or biomass energy
as part of a circular economy; improving systems for battery storage or microgrid
connectivity; or looking at automation, autonomous operations or tailings remediation
in mining, SLICE works with industry and community partners to solve challenges in
key energy and resource areas.
Centres and facilities
The Energy and Resources Lab is located at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Moose Jaw campus.
This facility provides the hub for energy-related applied research and training programs,
with a focus on alternative energy technologies, smart grids, and energy efficient
home construction.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic is a partner organization in the Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA). Working to accelerate the development and commercialization of innovative clean
technologies in the mining sector, MICA is expected to position Canada as a global
leader in sustainable mining as well as cleantech development.
