INDUSTRY GRANTS WEBINAR: TECHTALK SESSIONS EPISODE 8


April 10, 2026

 

 

Welcome to the first recorded TechTalk session from NGIF Accelerator’s Industry Grants Program.

This interactive webinar brings together industry operators and cleantech innovators to share candid, firsthand insights on advancing technologies from lab to field—and ultimately into commercial deployment. Grounded in real project experience, the session offers a practical view into how innovation is validated, refined, and adopted within the natural gas value chain.

Featuring perspectives from ATCO, Qube Technologies, Harvest Systems, and Prabhu Energy Labs, the discussion explores how NGIF’s industry-backed, non-dilutive funding model supports real-world testing, reduces deployment risk, and accelerates commercialization pathways.

Panelists also address the realities of implementation—from technical and operational challenges to the critical role of data transparency, cross-industry collaboration, and operator engagement in building trust and enabling adoption.

Topic: Accelerating Natural Gas Innovation: Bridging Industry Needs with Cleantech Solutions

Moderator:

Faran Razi, Manager, Contracts and Project Management, NGIF Accelerator

Panelists

Shayne Dunbar, Senior Engineer, ATCO
Taryn Humphreys, Vice President, International Business Development, Qube Technologies
Edan Prabhu, CEO and Founder, Prabhu Energy Labs
James Cotton, CEO and Founder, Harvest Systems Inc.

Trican
Frac pumpers are large fuel consumers that emit large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Current fracturing equipment in Alberta is typically powered by diesel-based or bi-fuel (diesel & natural gas) bolt-on kit (Tier 2) engines. Trican’s Caterpillar Tier 4 Dynamic Gas Blending engine proposes to displace up to 85% of diesel with natural gas. The goal of field testing at ETC is to understand the performance of the Tier 4 Engines during operations in Canada. This includes, but is not limited to, diesel displacement performance during seasonal conditions, validation of the low emissions fracturing spread, and emissions performance compared to diesel and Tier 2 enginess.
