STEPHEN MACMACKIN COMMENTARY As we look ahead to 2022 and the environmental benchmark of 2030 looms another year closer, a sense of urgency is taking over deliberations about our energy future here in Atlantic Canada. We have just eight short years to reach the ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets Canada has put in place,

Atlantic Canada’s GHG Fact Sheet

2022-11-23T14:20:48+00:00June 1st, 2021|Powerpoint, Publications|

Greenhouse gases (GHG) are essentially 93% water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane. They are emitted from normal human and animal activities, like exhaling. These gases have a natural cycle where nature attempts to balance them in the atmosphere. For example, plants inhale carbon dioxide, while humans and animals exhale it. Open Publication

Net-Zero Future: A Feasibility Study of Hydrogen Production, Storage, Distribution and Use in The Maritimes – NL Extension

2022-11-22T00:13:03+00:00March 1st, 2021|Publications, Reports|

This study investigated what role hydrogen can play in Newfoundland and Labrador’s future energy system. The assessment reviewed all aspects of this resource from creation to end-use and evaluates the economic and technical constraints and opportunities as hydrogen use and production scale up over time in Atlantic Canada. The study is an addendum to the Feasibility

The Canadian Energy Efficiency Scorecard: Provinces and Territories

2022-11-21T20:12:23+00:00January 1st, 2021|Publications, Reports|

The Canadian Energy Efficiency Scorecard tracks provinces and territories on 54 metrics across energy efficiency programs, buildings, transportation and industry, and provides an overall score. The annual report measures provincial and territorial progress on energy efficiency programming and outlines the policy recommendations required to support and catalyze better energy efficiency performance — vital to
