Issues people in this industry raise, and an idea for each. These are ideas for assessment, not approved projects or completed work.
Issues and proposals
Problem: Operators are looking at ways to separate and capture carbon dioxide from industrial gas streams. Source: Tarrabin Consulting's view
Idea to assess: Commercial partnerships for Borna Technology's membrane gas-separation technology in Alberta. Conversations are at an early stage. No completed or commissioned installation is claimed, and no performance figures are published before a technical review.
Problem: Captured carbon dioxide needs a pipeline and permanent storage. A large carbon pipeline network has been proposed from the Fort McMurray region. Source: Public project information, summarized on our Borna Technology page with sources.
Idea to assess: Help suppliers and communities understand what the pipeline would mean for them and get ready to take part.
Problem: Gas that is flared at a site is a product lost. Source: Tarrabin Consulting's view
Idea to assess: Assess sites where gas could be recovered as a product a buyer will pay for, with the economics proven before any money is committed.

Problem: Local and Indigenous suppliers want a fair path into operator and contractor procurement. Source: Tarrabin Consulting's view

Indigenous Economic DevelopmentSubcontractingBusiness Plans and Funding
Problem: Bids, daily site records and back-office work take hours that could go to the work itself. Source: Tarrabin Consulting's view
Idea to assess: The Tarrabin Business Desk and custom software for bids, daily records, scheduling and invoicing, with people approving every step.
Problem: Smaller firms lose bids on paperwork before price is even considered. Source: Tarrabin Consulting's view
Idea to assess: Bid support, safety and insurance paperwork, and site services delivered under one contract.
