How research and innovation in advanced energy technologies can make energy more reliable, affordable and sustainable.
Presentation as part of a panel at Michigan Conservative Energy Forum, March 10 2016, Lansing. MI
Combined heat and power (CHP) is a technically viable source of energy that can significantly reduce carbon emissions. CHP works by capturing waste heat from power generation and using it for other purposes, like heating. This improves energy efficiency from around 13% to up to 87%. Widespread adoption of CHP technology in the US could cut energy demand by 23% and greenhouse gas emissions by 100 million metric tons per year. However, barriers like regulatory issues and high initial costs are slowing broader implementation of CHP. More research is needed to understand how to address these barriers and incentivize the energy sector to embrace this opportunity.
Clean technology includes various methods of recycling, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, biomass and hydropower, green transportation, information technology, more energy efficient electric motors, lighting, and appliances. It also includes technologies like biofuels and systems that reuse greywater. Clean technology aims to provide environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives across many industries.

It analyzes the region's energy landscape and regulations, and identifies 52 advanced energy technologies that could help achieve greater energy independence and sustainability.
This document provides an overview of solar power technologies and issues. It discusses the current small contribution of solar power to global electricity generation but notes that solar power capacity and installations have been growing rapidly in recent years. Several types of solar technologies are described, including photovoltaics (PV), solar hot water, concentrating solar power technologies like parabolic troughs, power towers, solar dishes, and linear Fresnel systems. The document argues that while solar power may not contribute significantly to electricity generation in the near-term, it has great long-term potential due to declining costs and the vast solar resources available. Transitioning energy systems takes a long time but solar could become indispensable by 2050 to meet rising global energy demand in

Climate Innovation Opportunity: Investing in Local Governments to Accelerate ...CUSP | Univ of Guelph
This report from Social Capital Strategies and CUSP examines the current capacity challenges of leading Canadian cities in addressing climate change at scale. The report sheds light on some of the ‘work hacks’ leading cities and their partners are using to deliver successful outcomes and impact, and also where more is needed to fill resource gaps.
This whitepaper is intended to share insights with provincial and federal governments, utilities, community foundations and private philanthropy around the challenges and successes local governments are experiencing in scaling up action in the large and leading cities.
Cities work on the frontline and are critical and capable partners locally and nationally, but the climate challenge is great and the level of change required transformational. This report identifies five elements of success that allow sustainability teams in local governments to generate innovative policy and market transformations on scale with what is needed to address the climate emergency. The findings in this report were generated through interviews with leading climate and sustainability practitioners in local government and NGOs supporting successful municipal climate networks
CUSP: 2020 Recommendations to Enhance Ambition, Signal Strategies and Acceler...CUSP | Univ of Guelph
The document provides 5 recommendations for Canada to enhance its climate ambition and accelerate collective action in its 2020 update to its Nationally Determined Contribution commitments under the Paris Agreement. The recommendations are to: 1) align its 2030 greenhouse gas reduction target with the IPCC recommendation of 45% below 2010 levels; 2) integrate a National Urban Strategy; 3) commit to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050; 4) align federal policies and funding with the new targets and strategies; and 5) step up multilevel climate action implementation. The document argues that adopting these recommendations will help Canada play its part in limiting global warming to 1.5°C as called for by the Paris Agreement.
Our Energy Guelph (OEG) is a community-led group established by the Guelph City Council to determine stakeholder priorities, establish metrics for progress, & update Guelph's Community Energy Initiative.
During the spring and summer of 2017, OEG engaged with community members, seeking input into Guelph’s community energy plan. Community engagement represents one of three primary inputs and activities that will come together to inform Guelph's community energy plan.
This document provides guidance on conceptual mapping by outlining three key steps:
1. Write down all relevant actors and stakeholders for the governance problem or solution. Brainstorm without limiting ideas.
2. Group the actors into classes or types based on common attributes. For example, government agencies could be one class.
3. Draw connections between actors by describing the relationships between them, such as how resources are shared or why certain actors are critical to the governance framework.
The example maps the landscape of community energy plans in Ontario by coloring different actor classes and connecting them with descriptive keywords to illustrate relationships.
The community engagement process is of course very messy with myriad other factors that cannot be fully accounted. Community engagement for CEP is, in other words, predominantly art and intuition and very little science and analysis. How can we make sense of it all?
Just Transformations: Barriers to Energy Upgrades in Social HousingCUSP | Univ of Guelph
Presentation at Just Transformations: The Next 150 symposium. The Social Housing sector provides support and services to among the most vulnerable Ontarians. Consequentially, the sector emerges as a key stakeholder in the planning-to-implementation of just energy transformations. For community energy planners, understanding the barriers social housing practitioners face is key to engaging the sector.
This presentation reviews common barriers, and provides recommendations for building long-term capacity for innovation in the sector.
Energy efficiency is often regarded as the fastest and most
accessible means to achieve sustainability and reduce energy
costs. Using a framework developed from semi-structured
interviews of business owners, staff and personnel, this
presentation will analyze the relevance of various barriers to
energy efficiency experienced by commercial and small
industrial businesses across 7 industrial parks in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.
Preliminary analysis indicates that high energy costs in the
region pose a significant barrier to business expansion and
workforce development. To address this, the presentation will
also make specific technical and policy recommendations for
regional planners, showing how advancing energy efficiency
helps support local economic development and business
retention.
The document discusses developing an ontology for the domain of solar irradiance forecasting. It begins by outlining challenges such as lack of shared understanding and terminology. It then provides an overview of ontologies, their uses and components. The document proposes an ontology called SF-ONT that maps the key entities and relationships in solar forecasting. It details the development process including reusing existing relevant ontologies, defining classes, properties and examples. Finally, it demonstrates potential uses of the ontology and provides ideas for future expansion and maintenance.
