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.
