An Assessment of the Penetration of Low Carbon Technologies in the Energy Demand and Supply Sectors
DownloadSpring 2021
The penetration of emerging low carbon energy technologies in the energy sector can provide significant opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. An assessment of the market penetration of energy technologies can also help us understand their future adoption, which is critical in...

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...

Assessment of co-processing hydrodeoxygenated fast pyrolysis oil and vacuum gas oil in a fluid catalytic cracking unit
DownloadFall 2020
The production of liquid biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass feedstock (e.g. forest biomass) has received special attention because these biofuels are carbon neutral, have flexible production and upgrading processes, and can be produced from feedstock that is widely available. The major...

Assessment of energy efficiency improvement opportunities and the long-term potential for greenhouse gas mitigation in industrial sector
DownloadSpring 2019
Concerns about climate change have resulted in a global agreement on the need for collective actions to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In Canada, the 9th largest global GHG emitter, the industrial sector is a major source of GHG emissions, accounting for 37% of the national...

Development of Levelized Cost of Electricity, Life Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Net Energy Ratio of Solar-based Thermal Energy Storage Systems
DownloadFall 2018
In this study, a data-intensive model was developed to evaluate the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the net energy ratio (NER) for thermal energy storage (TES) technologies, namely, sensible heat, latent heat, and thermochemical storage. To...
