GreenCentre CanadaA New Model for the Commercialization of
Green Chemistry Technologies
GreenCentre CanadaOverview
• GreenCentre Canada (GCC) is North America’s first, all-inclusive, Green Chemistry innovation ecosystem.
• Working closely with industry, GCC develops, de-risks and commercializes Green Chemistry discoveries.
• For industry, GCC is a gateway to Canada’s premier Green Chemistry technologies.
• Green chemistry, is a chemical philosophy encouraging the design of products and processes that reduce waste, eliminate costly end-of-the-pipe treatments; provide safer products; and reduce use of energy and resources.
What is Green Chemistry?
Canadian Green ChemistryImpact Across the Chemical Industry
What Academics can deliver: •Discoveries• Bench-test proof of utility• Grams of sample
What Industry wants: • Discoveries• Development & Optimization• Field-test proof of utility• Kilograms of sample
The Commercialization Gap
GCC represents a comprehensive and collaborative approach to commercializing Green Chemistry technologies.
People Infrastructure Capital
GreenCentre CanadaOvercoming the Gap
Technology Screening & Due Diligence
• Technical assessment• Assessment of the
intellectual property landscape
• Recommendation to screening committee
End-User & Market Analysis
• Identification of potential customers and markets
• Green assessment vs. incumbent technology
• Creation of value propositions
Product & Application Development
• Design and preparation of application-specific product candidates
• Application and test development
• Protection of new IP
Technology Screening & Due Diligence
• Scale-up of product candidates
• Application development & testing at customer
• IP protection
GCC Hand-Off
• Quantification of business opportunity
• Out-license to established company or start-up, or
• Additional pilot manufacturing (e.g. Sarnia BIC)
