The Quebec Metallurgy Centre (CMQ) recently received a PSO V4 grant in partnership with the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Trois-Rivi\u00e8res, INRS, and Innofibre to acquire new corrosion and energy equipment. This will enhance its research infrastructure capabilities to serve industry. This new equipment will help companies address challenges related to infrastructure sustainability, corrosion, material protection, and performance evaluation in harsh environments. It also allows the CMQ to further develop its research infrastructure dedicated to sustainability, the energy transition, and industrial decarbonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In parallel, the CMQ also received a grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), in partnership with Innofibre, to develop new research infrastructure dedicated to industrial decarbonization, advanced energy technologies, and recycling. These investments will allow the CMQ to better meet the needs of Quebec and Canadian industries in the areas of materials development, advanced characterization, recycling, sustainability and energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the aluminium industry, a strategic sector for Quebec, these new infrastructures will be a significant asset in supporting its growth, improving the sustainability of its products, and facilitating its energy transition through:
\u2022 The development of recycling and recovery solutions for aluminium scrap;
\u2022 The improvement of the durability and corrosion resistance of alloys;
\u2022 The development of advanced alloys for energy and transportation applications;
\u2022 The integration of decarbonization processes for thermal and metallurgical operations;
\u2022 The integration of hydrogen technologies and new energy approaches into industrial processes;
\u2022 The development of coatings and surface treatments to improve the performance and lifespan of components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new infrastructure will also support projects in:
\u2022 Development of materials for hydrogen production and storage;
\u2022 Development of materials for CO\u2082 capture and conversion;
\u2022 Development of materials for batteries and energy storage;
\u2022 Decarbonization of industrial processes;
\u2022 Surface engineering and materials protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These projects will strengthen the CMQ\u2019s capacity to support industrial innovation and the development of sustainable technological solutions for tomorrow\u2019s energy and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
