Globally Competitive Product Tested and
Launched at EIA
Absolute Combustion International (ACI) and Edmonton

outperforms standard heating technologies on metrics
ranging from fuel consumption and safety to extreme cold
weather durability. The partnership between ACI and EIA
ref lects the airport's commitment to supporting innovation
and supporting Alberta's technology sector, according to
the co-founder and CEO of ACI.

International Airport, which worked with us every step
of the way, and support from organizations like Alberta
Innovates, have allowed ACI to make the challenging
quantum leap from research to commercialization. This
success is proof that Alberta has the infrastructure needed
to help companies create technologies that will have an
international impact," said Koleya Karringten.

rising in popularity and ridership, with more airlines and
routes being added regularly," Lamont said. "More and
more people throughout New England are recognizing
the multiple benefits this airport provides - a convenient,
centralized location and growing amenities that make travel

airport in the country. Now with this addition of this
