Engineering analytics, process models, and practical software for industrial decarbonization.
PQEA is developing transparent engineering models and scalable software prototypes for carbon-capture feasibility, process performance, and early-stage industrial emissions-reduction decisions.
Our tools are designed for screening, conceptual evaluation, and scenario analysis. They do not replace site-specific FEED, detailed design, permitting, technology-vendor guarantees, or regulatory approval.
Focus areas
Three connected capabilities: carbon capture as the principal R&D application, process systems as the engineering foundation, and practical software for repeatable delivery.
Carbon capture R&D and analytics
Process models and software prototypes for capture feasibility, performance evaluation, preliminary sizing, energy-penalty analysis, and scenario comparison.
Industrial process modeling
Transparent mass and energy balances, scenario studies, sensitivity analysis, and decision-support models for complex industrial systems.
Regulated workflow automation
AI-assisted workflows, traceability logic, data structures, and reporting tools for pharmaceutical C&Q and other controlled project environments.
Carbon capture product roadmap
The program is being developed in stages so assumptions, equations, validation evidence, and software behavior remain visible and testable.
Engineering calculation framework
Mass balance, capture-rate, utility-demand, energy-penalty, and preliminary sizing calculations with explicit boundaries and assumptions.
Benchmarking and validation
Comparison against appropriate engineering references, published cases, available operating information, and suitable partner data.
Scalable software prototype
A structured interface for scenario management, sensitivity analysis, visualization, reporting, and reusable sector configurations.
Built to support better early decisions
Transparent models can help teams identify data gaps, compare capture options, test sensitivities, and understand integration constraints before significant capital is committed.
How we work
A disciplined approach that keeps scope realistic and produces usable, reviewable outputs.
Clarify the decision, system boundary, available data, constraints, and appropriate level of analysis.
Build the smallest useful engineering model or workflow around the highest-value question.
Test equations, assumptions, and outputs against references, benchmarks, and real examples where available.
Document and structure the work so it can be repeated, reviewed, extended, or incorporated into software.
Saskatchewan is a natural proving ground
Saskatchewan combines industrial and energy emissions sources with operational carbon-capture infrastructure, commercial-setting capture test capability, geological storage research, and programs supporting industrial emissions-reduction technology. PQEA is building local engineering and software capability that can support the province while remaining applicable elsewhere.
