A multi-faceted approach to sustainable energy and cleantech is being taken by a new Vancouver company.
Mantra Venture Group is a cluster of subsidiaries that is committed to ‘profitability through sustainability’, and is supporting a number of innovative technologies on the path to market readiness. Offering both venture capital and public education elements, Mantra is taking a different approach to retooling society and business for sustainable practices.
Its major new development at this time is the ‘Electro-Reduction of Carbon’ technology, which was brought into being by a prominent UBC researcher, Professor Colin Oloman. Its exciting prototype successfully reduces CO2 into its primary components, creating fuel and chemical resources while at the same time reducing greenhouse gases. Other projects include cellulosic ethanol and signal smoothing technology from intermittent renewable energy sources.
A Carbon Calculator is available on Mantra’s website. Rather than just another calculator, though, it is being combined with an energy auditing service (ClimateESCO), and a Marketplace service that will help clients connect with the most appropriate service providers to make energy improvements in their homes or place of business.
