The overarching goal of this Alliance partnership between the Berlinguette Group (UBC) and TOTAL (an international energy company) is to demonstrate coupled CO2 capture and conversion. The project will result in the design and construction of the first ever multi-cell bicarbonate electrolyzer stack (a device that produces useful chemicals from CO2 capture solutions) that is integrated with a CO2 capture unit. This carbon capture/conversion unit will provide TOTAL and the academic community with data obtained under conditions that are representative of those needed for operation at an industrial scale. The Alliance project will also train young Canadian scientists and engineers for careers that contribute to growing the renewable energy and carbon-tech economy. The long-term vision is to commercialize an end-to-end CO2 capture and utilization technology that uses CO2 and renewable energy to produce fuels and precursors for chemical manufacturing industries. This approach has the potential to create a multi-trillion-dollar industry that would transform CO2 from an environmental liability into an economic asset. Canada is poised to be a global leader in this effort because of Canadian's strong academic and industrial expertise in the fields of electrolysis and reactor engineering, as well as the commitment of federal and provincial governments to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases such as CO2. Canada also has the renewable resources (hydro/wind) needed to eventually power the first commercial bicarbonate electrolyzers, and is therefore a desirable location for future scaling, testing, and demonstration of a CO2 capture and conversion technology.

Berlinguette集团（UBC）和道达尔（一家国际能源公司）之间的联盟伙伴关系的总体目标是展示二氧化碳捕获和转化的耦合。该项目将设计和建造第一个多电池碳酸氢盐电解槽堆栈（一种从CO2捕获解决方案中生产有用化学品的设备），该堆栈与CO2捕获单元集成。这一碳捕获/转化装置将向道达尔公司和学术界提供在代表工业规模运作所需条件下获得的数据。该联盟项目还将培训加拿大青年科学家和工程师，使他们从事有助于发展可再生能源和碳技术经济的职业。长期愿景是将端到端的二氧化碳捕获和利用技术商业化，该技术使用二氧化碳和可再生能源为化学制造业生产燃料和前体。这种方法有可能创造一个数万亿美元的产业，将二氧化碳从环境负债转变为经济资产。由于加拿大在电解和反应堆工程领域拥有强大的学术和工业专业知识，以及联邦和省政府致力于减少二氧化碳等大气温室气体，加拿大有望成为这一努力的全球领导者。加拿大还拥有最终为第一个商业碳酸氢盐电解槽提供动力所需的可再生资源（水电/风能），因此是未来扩大规模，测试和展示二氧化碳捕获和转化技术的理想地点。
