Parker: Calgary firm Carbon Upcycling turns industrial waste into valuable cement products
Calgary-based Carbon Upcycling is making great strides in its mission to convert carbon emissions and industrial waste byproducts into valuable, local materials for low-carbon cement production. Its groundbreaking technology offers a productive solution for CO2 emissions and industrial waste materials by upcycling them into low-carbon supplementary cement products. In the few years since it was launched in 2015, the company has attracted the interest of a large number of major cement companies and has forged a strategic partnership with TITAN Group, one of the world's leading international businesses in the building and infrastructure materials industry. The companies entered a memorandum of agreement earlier this month to explore the commercial development of Carbon Upcycling's technology for producing local, low-carbon building materials. The collaboration builds on TITAN's earlier investment in the Calgary company and underscores both companies' shared commitment to accelerating the decarbonization of the building materials industry. 'Expanding the scope of our partnership with Carbon Upcycling from investment to project exploration aims to scale up production of innovative, high-performance cementitious solutions in line with our Green Growth Strategy 2026,' says Leonidas Canellopoulos, chief sustainability and innovation officer of TITAN Group. 'This initiative not only highlights the importance of localized production but also serves as an important model for integrating low-carbon solutions into mainstream industrial processes.' The scientist with the vision of an inclusive, equitable world where carbon is a sustainable resource — shaping the future of humanity — is Apoorv Sinha, co-founder and CEO of Carbon Upcycling. Born in Baha, a small province in the northeast area of India, he was brought up in Kuwait where his father had moved the family to work in the oil and gas industry. Sinha's education took him to the U.S., where he earned his chemical engineering degree at Georgia Institute of Technology. He says he was attracted to Calgary as an energy hub with a reputation for innovation — a good place to build a business. In 2014, along with a couple of friends, they entered an Emissions Reduction Alberta challenge for the most innovative technologies that would convert CO2 emissions into valuable products. The result was a $500,000 grant that kick-started the launch of Carbon Upcycling the following year, and the opportunity to work with researchers at the University of Calgary as well as others in university labs in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. Sinha says the research has focused on the use of local waste materials — ash, slag and clay-based tailings — that are found everywhere and can be chemically activated into a fine powder to be blended into cement. Burnco has become a valuable Calgary partner using the product from two Carbon Upcycle demonstration plants in the southeast area of the city, enabling it to reduce imported additives by using a local product. Sinha and his team have kept up an aggressive momentum that has attracted a number of global partnerships with industry, academia and communities. Three of the world's largest cement manufacturers (TITAN, CRH and Cemex) have invested in the company, and following a $32.4-million Series A financing round in June 2023, private investments have reached $70 million. Another large investment is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Currently a first-of-its-kind commercial facility is under construction at the Ash Grove cement plant in Mississauga, Ont., that will be able to use local feedstock from steel plants. Carbon Upcycling has blossomed into a strong Canadian tech company built and commercialized in Canada, able to attract huge investments that will be beneficial to the local Calgary economy. It employs around 40 people here, consisting mainly of engineers, research and development, and operations, plus others in the U.S., Mexico, Belgium, Denmark and Germany — important since countries have different standards that locals are better to interpret. To date, the company has secured 13 patents and filed for another 93 to protect its technology around the world. While the G7 summit is being held at Kananaskis, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture is holding its agriculture and food security forum at Olds College with the theme of cultivating tomorrow's agriculture today. The 250 invited delegates will be at the forum and an additional 1,000 guests will attend online. David Parker appears regularly in the Herald.

UK's biggest-ever lottery prize still up for grabs
The biggest lottery prize the UK has seen could still be won on Tuesday after Friday's EuroMillions draw had no winners. The jackpot for the draw on Tuesday will be £208 million and would be the largest prize awarded in the UK if won by a single ticket-holder, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. The EuroMillions jackpot is capped once it reaches 250 million euros – or £208 million. Once it has reached its cap, and if there is no winner, it stays at this value for a further four draws until it must be won in the fifth draw. This will be on June 20. In the Must Be Won draw, if no ticket matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars, the entire jackpot prize will roll down into the prize tier where there is at least one winner – likely to be five main numbers and one Lucky Star. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn – operator of The National Lottery, said: 'Everyone dreams of that huge win when they buy their National Lottery ticket. What a win like this can do for you, your nearest and dearest and the wider community really is incredible. 'From private islands and private jets to really making a monumental difference to causes close to your heart, a £208 million EuroMillions jackpot win would mean pretty much anything is within reach. 'All you have to do to be in with a chance of actually living the dream is to simply buy a EuroMillions ticket. Good luck to all UK EuroMillions players in this Tuesday's draw.'

World's most liveable city for 2025 named
It's official. Vienna is no longer the most liveable city in the world. After a three-year run at the top of the annual list from the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the Austrian capital has been beaten out by 'Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen.' Denmark's capital has taken the number one spot on the ranking of the world's most liveable cities for 2025, which was released on Tuesday. The EIU, a sister organization to The Economist magazine, ranked 173 cities around the world on a number of factors, including healthcare, education, stability, infrastructure and environment. Copenhagen triumphed after receiving 'perfect' scores for stability, education and infrastructure, while Vienna tied for second place with Swiss city Zurich. Australia's Melbourne retained its fourth place spot, while Switzerland's Geneva was fifth on the list. Just outside of the top five, Sydney, Australia moved up the list, jumping from joint seventh place to sixth, while Japanese city Osaka and New Zealand's Auckland tied for seventh place. In ninth place, Adelaide was the third Australian city to make the top 10, while Canada's Vancouver took the number 10 slot. So why did Vienna fail to come out on top this year? Although the Austrian city scored well in most categories, its score in the stability category fell significantly, while Copenhagen scored highly in all sections. The 'sharp decline' in Vienna's stability score was attributed to recent incidents, including a bomb threat at a Taylor Swift concert last summer, which led to the event being canceled. 'Global liveability has remained flat over the past year, and as in 2024, scores for stability have declined at a global level,' Barsali Bhattacharyya, deputy industry director at EIU, said in a statement. 'Pressure on stability has led Vienna to lose its position as the most liveable city after a three-year stint.' However, Vienna wasn't the only city that received lower marks for a category it had previously scored well in. Calgary, which took fifth place in 2024, dropped out of the top 10 this year, falling to 18th after receiving a lower healthcare score, along with three fellow Canadian cities, due to a 'strain' on the country's healthcare system. Toronto also placed lower this year, as a result, falling from 12th to 16th place. 'That's really just reflecting the long waiting lists for medical checkups,' Bhattacharyya tells CNN Travel. 'There's been a shortage of staff at medical facilities and hospitals.' Bhattacharyya stresses that other parts of the world have also been experiencing pressures on healthcare systems and housing infrastructure, but Canada 'stood out' because of the sustained impact of these factors. 'Just to put that into context, they're still some of the most livable cities in the world,' she adds. Honolulu, Hawaii was the highest US city on the list, coming in 23rd place. 'We've seen a trend where sort of smaller or medium-sized cities in the US actually do a lot better than the really big cities like New York or LA,' explains Bhattacharyya. 'And that's largely because of the strains on public services infrastructure.' Meanwhile, UK cities London, Manchester and Edinburgh also moved down the rankings after receiving lower scores in the stability category. This follows a period of rioting and unrest in the UK last year after an anti-immigrant misinformation campaign stoked outrage over a stabbing attack in Southport, northern England. This year's list saw London drop from 45th to 54th place, Manchester from 43rd to 52nd and Edinburgh moving from 59th to 64th. 'As in 2024, stability scores have declined for western Europe and the Middle East and North Africa,' adds Bhattacharyya. 'In this edition, they have also declined for Asia, amid intensified threats of military conflict for cities in India and Taiwan.' While some destinations fell down the list, others made significant gains, with Saudi Arabia's Persian Gulf city of Al Khobar jumping 13 places from 148th to 135th. The kingdom has made considerable investments to improve healthcare and education access under Vision 2030, an extensive plan to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil. Indonesia's Jakarta also moved up the list, jumping 10 places from 142 to 132 thanks to an improvement in its stability core. Unsurprisingly, the rankings at the very bottom of the list haven't changed much in the past year, with Damascus, Syria still ranking as the least liveable in the world six months after the fall of ex-president Bashar al-Assad. Libya's Tripoli ranked just above it. Bangladesh capital Dhaka was third from bottom, while Pakistan's Karachi and Algeria's Algiers were ranked as the fourth and fifth least liveable cities. While 2024 saw global liveability rise 'fractionally,' this certainly hasn't been the case this year. 'This is because of the declines in stability,' explains Bhattacharyya. 'Because we have seen improvements in categories like healthcare and education, largely led by cities in the Middle East. But that has basically been offset by declines in stability.' 1.
