Company Principals
Advanced Conservation Technologies Inc.(ACT) has two originators, both of which are key directors of the company. These two directors are Paul J. Belanger and Peter Moore.
Paul J. Belanger, President
Paul J. Belanger is a native of Northern Alberta and has a career equally split between the oil industry and the solar and conservation industry. He has 18 years experience in the Alberta oil industry involved with supply and safety services and now with ACT. He was owner of a Northern Alberta safety and supply company ( Welflo Industries Inc. ) for 10 years where he learned how to grow a company and manage steady growth for ten years. This experience also provided Belanger many insights into the monitoring and environmental aspects of the oil industry.
In 1994 Belanger had the opportunity to sell Welflo Industries Inc. and pursue a long term interest. After selling he engaged in additional environmental education before starting a new company in the renewable energy industry. This new company, as a place to utilize his innovative ideas, developed new conservation technologies for solar powered commercial and residential buildings. For 17 years ,with a small team of engineers, Belanger creatively developed ways to use solar energy never done before in Western Canada. His company was recognized for its work with two environmental design awards.
During all the years Belanger followed his interest in restoration ecology and eco-science. He was first exposed to heavy oil issues from 1980 to 1982 when he was involved with the Gulf Wabasca fireflood project and the Union Oil Buffalo Lake heavy oil project.
In 1996-1997 Belanger had the opportunity to work with an AOSTRA leading scientist, Loren Hepler, and other scientists. This experience eventually led Belanger to an “oilsands process” breakthrough, which he has recently patented.
