In our Season 7 premiere episode of Now Innovating, a research-to-impact series at the University of Calgary, we celebrate the launch of the XPRIZE Canada Hub by speaking with UCalgary and XPRIZE alum, Madison Savilow, BA'19, BComm'19, of Carbon Upcycling. This carbon capture and utilization company was a finalist team in the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE competition. Their process, developed with UCalgary researchers, transforms C02 and industrial waste materials to create a low-carbon cement replacement.
Savilow takes us on a tour of Carbon Upcycling's facility at the Alberta Carbon Conversion Technology Centre, discusses her journey with XPRIZE, shares how the company is scaling, and offers advice for embarking on an entrepreneurial path.
Now Innovating shares the stories of UCalgary researchers who have moved their discoveries forward and their innovation journeys to implementation and creating impact. Episodes are released monthly and are captioned and transcribed on YouTube. Episodes are also released as a podcast on platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Music, and more.
