Canada’s Nuclear Advantage

October 27, 2017

Imagine a Canada with a clean, affordable diversified energy system that leads the world in having achieved deep decarbonization. Imagine, too, an end to energy poverty in many small and remote Canadian communities that now struggle on diesel fuel. Imagine a Canada utilizing its natural endowment of energy sources – especially those that provide ample, reliable and affordable quantities of clean electricity to households and, increasingly, vehicles and transport.

Cumulative Effects Analysis for Wind Energy Development: Current Practices, Challenges, and Opportunities

whitePaper | April 12, 2022

The increasing global deployment of wind energy has given rise to concerns about potential adverse effects on certain wildlife species and habitats. The United States and European nations use environmental impact assessments (EIAs) to evaluate the environmental effects of wind energy and inform wind energy planning, siting, and operational processes. A key component of the EIA is the cumulative effects analysis/assessment (CEA). CEAs consider the effects of a proposed development in the context of past, present, and future developments, as well as other (non-wind) activities.

Policy to Enable Green Hydrogen in Ireland

whitePaper | August 1, 2022

Decarbonising the transport sector has begun with the adoption of battery electric vehicles, and they will take us a long way to full decarbonisation. But commercial users tell us there are use cases where battery vehicles will not be appropriate for them. We outline policy actions that can enable hydrogen for mobility and begin to develop the wider hydrogen ecosystem in Ireland.

Solving the Energy Trilemma

whitePaper | August 11, 2022

The global climate change summit, COP26, in November last year emphasised the urgent need to keep 1.5 degrees Celsius alive, limit global warming and push for more low-carbon power, as well as renewables. Then prices for energy began to skyrocket in Europe and Asian markets in January due to post-COVID energy bottlenecks. Finally, the recent war in Ukraine has emboldened world leaders’ to prioritise energy security and question where their imported fuels come from.
