Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation Potential and Abatement Costs of Alternative Technology Options for Oil Sands
DownloadSpring 2020
In the last several decades societies have gained an increasing level of awareness and scientific understanding of the impact of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on average global temperatures and the negative results of those temperatures increasing. Many governments, including...

Observations of Snow and Ice Formation on Solar Photovoltaic Panels and an Enhanced Method of Modelling Snow Melting from Solar Photovoltaic Panels
DownloadSpring 2019
One of the fundamental limitations of solar photovoltaic (PV) generating systems in cold regions is snow accumulations blocking irradiance from reaching the PV cells. Snow accumulations on PV panels result in both reduced electricity generation and increased uncertainty in electricity generation...

The Development of a Framework for Modelling Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Scenarios in the Electricity Generation Sector
DownloadFall 2017
Low- or zero-emitting alternative sources of energy have become widely sought for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally. Specifically, in the electricity generation sector, governments, utilities, regulators, and institutions have announced and implemented integrated policy measures...

What Determines Municipal Renewable Energy Development? Insights From a Mixed-Methods Study of Municipalities in Alberta
DownloadFall 2021
This thesis contributes to energy social sciences, examining the potential of municipal renewable energy projects and employing a novel theoretical framework intersecting the theory of planned behaviour and transition theory. I site this work in Alberta, a province with a carbon intensive energy...
