Emerging Energy Sector Opportunity Analysis

Scovan Inc. is seeking to enhance its business development strategy by identifying new industrial opportunities in Western Canada and beyond , focusing on the emerging energy sector . The goal of this project is to research and evaluate various sources of information that provide insights into potential projects requiring engineering, process design, and fabrication services . Areas of interest include CO₂ capture and decarbonization, biofuels, biomass, geothermal, solution mining, pyrolysis, and hydrogen generation . The student will explore and analyze industry reports (e.g., Industrial Reports), public tender websites (e.g., Alberta government, City of Regina), and regulatory databases from Canadian, U.S., and international sources to determine: The type of information available (e.g., project descriptions, funding announcements, regulatory filings). The stage of project development when information becomes accessible (e.g., early regulatory phases vs. post-sanctioning). How this information can be leveraged for business development in securing engineering and fabrication opportunities. This project will enable the student to apply their research and analytical skills to develop a structured approach for Scovan Inc. to track and evaluate upcoming projects effectively.

Key Account Plan Enhancement Project

The goal of this project is to enhance Scovan Inc's Key Account Plans by completing specific information sections for 6-7 existing and prospective clients.
