Serving Rural & Remote Communities: Co-developing Place-Based Climate Resilient Solutions

The Serving Rural & Remote Communities: Co-developing Place-Based Climate Resilient Solutions centres rural and remote communities and what they need to flourish in the face of climate challenges.

Bulk buying electric vehicles for small fleets

Examining the barriers and opportunities associated with replacing gas-fuelled fleets with electric vehicles.

Building pathways to a future powered by low-carbon electricity

The future is electric but where will all that electricity come from? Is it clean or carbon-intensive? Is its supply consistent or does it rise and fall with the sun and wind? What are the implications for land use and water availability?

Innovations in Mobile Thermal Energy Storage - Using Waste Heat to Power Communities

Developing a thermal storage “missing link” that will enable transmission of waste heat from off-the-grid urban and industrial sources into district energy networks.

Hydrogen Generation in BC’s Pulp & Paper Sector

Could BC's pulp and paper mills produce hydrogen?

The 2060 Project – Integrated Energy Systems

Exploring decarbonized energy system pathways and electrification options for BC and Alberta.

Energy Efficiency in the Built Environment

The built environment is a complex intertwined multi-scale system of cities, towns and neighbourhoods whose energy performance and emissions are shaped by factors such as land use, building design, infrastructure and the behaviour of its inhabitants.
