The Role of Industrial Energy Efficiency and Fuel Switching as Pathways to Net-Zero Emissions in the Canadian Pulp and Paper Sector
DownloadSpring 2022
Industrial decarbonization is a critical challenge along the pathway to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at a sufficient scale and pace to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. The intrinsic energy- and emissions-intensive nature of heavy industry has led to the recognition that...

Life cycle environmental and techno-economic assessments of monocrystalline titanium dioxide nanorod-based perovskite solar cells
DownloadSpring 2021
Kukkikatte Ramamurthy Rao, Harshadeep
There is an increased interest in utilization of solar energy for power generation. A lot of research effort is being put to improve the efficiency of solar cells. Perovskite architectures that use titanium dioxide nanorods as electron transport layers have been proven to have enhanced...

Planning for net-zero GHG emissions by 2050: Moving from technical feasibility assessments to actionable analysis
DownloadFall 2023
Researchers with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that the net flux of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must reach zero by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C within this century. This target requires that all GHG emissions resulting from human activity...

Fall 2023
Martinez Castellanos, Benjamin M
Meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement requires society to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels in every sector. Waste management has a key role in achieving these objectives and is fundamental for sustainable growth. Some municipal solid waste (MSW) streams have the potential for...

Study of the Hydro-transport of Agricultural Biomass Residue in Vertical and Inclined Pipelines
DownloadFall 2023
The increasing energy demand, dependency on fossil fuels, reduction in their reserves, and rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have drawn global attention toward a more viable alternative, such as biofuels produced from agricultural residue biomass, which is an abundantly available type of...

Life cycle environmental and economic assessments of zeolite 13X-based space heating systems
DownloadFall 2021
The important role of a heat storage system in the transition to a low carbon economy is widely acknowledged in scientific literature. In cold regions like Canada, where fossil-based space heating systems are widely used, the associated greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are a major concern. The use...

Development of Integrated Model for Assessment of Water and GHG Footprints for Power Generation Sector
DownloadFall 2017
Freshwater is a critical natural resource and is used in energy production, conversion and utilization. To ensure that the use of water today does not adversely affect the prospects for its use by future generations, there is a need to understand long term water demand and supply through energy...
