Industry

Circular Economy

To address Canada’s organic waste management challenges by transforming sewage sludge into hydrochar, contributing to the circular economy and offering sustainable resource solutions.

Founder & CEO

Proteus Waters faced limitations in securing reliable waste-to-resource technology and needed to navigate complex funding and regulatory hurdles to launch a successful pilot in Canada for converting sewage sludge into high-value hydrochar.

ClimateDoor facilitated a strategic partnership between Proteus Waters and C-Green, leveraging C-Green's technology to convert organic waste into hydrochar. We identified three key grant programs including the Water Innovation Program and Net-Zero Transformation Fund, and conducted a feasibility assessment to ensure the technology met Canadian market requirements.

Proteus Waters gained a transformative partnership with C-Green, a clear funding pathway of up to $500K, and a credible route to advancing sewage upcycling as a circular economy solution in Canada.
