CharTech Solutions (CT) is a Toronto-based cleantech developer of innovative technological solutions toenvironmental problems such as water quality, and waste reduction. Their process creates their primary productbiocoal (BC), which is made by transforming wood waste, such as construction and demolition waste destinedfor landfill, into a lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting coal substitute for industrial manufacturing. Due tothe need for the physical and chemical properties offered by coal in certain manufacturing processes, such assteelmaking, lower GHG emitting options are limited. The use of BC as an alternative to coal in manufacturingis new, but incredibly promising for GHG reductions. Additionally, one of the waste products from theproduction of BC is a gas that can be upgraded into renewable natural gas (RNG) for grid use, further reducingemissions. BC could help many industries reduce GHGs and increase competitiveness in a low carboneconomy, but to be able to scale the BC market, CT needs to be able to model scalable potential GHGemissions reductions for each potential client and their BC needs. Mohawk College's Centre for ClimateChange Management (CCCM) has GHG modelling and quantification expertise to support CT creating ascalable process, which will help them efficiently quantify environmental benefits to clients and improve theclient recruitment. The current opportunity for CT to collaborate alongside the CCCM in the development of asoftware model to test and understand emissions reductions associated with CT's BC process, supply chain, andthe capture and creation of RNG. This exciting partnership will support the understanding of alternative energyemissions mitigation and process optimization by using a model created at Mohawk College to drive strategicdecision making in an Ontario-based business. The scalable model created will help CT to develop use casesfor other potential clients across Canada.

CharTech Solutions（CT）是一家位于多伦多的清洁技术开发商，致力于为水质和减少废物等环境问题提供创新的技术解决方案。他们的工艺创造了他们的主要产品生物煤（BC），这是通过将木材废料，如建筑和拆除垃圾填埋场，转化为工业制造业的低温室气体（GHG）排放煤炭替代品。由于在某些制造过程中需要煤炭提供的物理和化学特性，如炼钢，降低温室气体排放的选择有限。在制造业中使用BC作为煤炭的替代品是新的，但在温室气体减排方面具有令人难以置信的前景。此外，BC生产过程中产生的废物之一是一种气体，可以升级为可再生天然气（RNG）用于电网，进一步减少排放。BC可以帮助许多行业减少温室气体并提高在低碳经济中的竞争力，但为了扩大BC市场，CT需要能够为每个潜在客户及其BC需求建立可扩展的潜在温室气体减排模型。莫霍克学院的气候变化管理中心（CCCM）拥有温室气体建模和量化的专业知识，以支持CT创建一个可扩展的过程，这将有助于他们有效地量化对客户的环境效益，并改善客户招聘。目前，CT有机会与CCCM合作开发软件模型，以测试和了解与CT BC流程、供应链以及RNG捕获和生成相关的减排。这一令人兴奋的合作伙伴关系将支持替代能源减排和过程优化的理解，通过使用莫霍克学院创建的模型来推动安大略省企业的战略决策。创建的可扩展模型将帮助CT为加拿大各地的其他潜在客户开发用例。
