Book excerpt: Figure 2 shows the GHG emissions for the Canadian oil and gas production and mining sectors in the format required by the UNFCC. [...] Also, a single category for emissions from fossil fuel production, as required by the UNFCC, does not provide sufficient detail on the breakdown of GHG emissions from the production of natural gas, and both conventional and unconventional crude oil production which is of interest in to the Canadian context. [...] When natural gas is produced the remaining reserves are adjusted based on the amount of production and then carried through to the next year of the scenario meaning that production cannot exceed the size of the reserve. [...] These will impact the balance of trade, the price of gas and the production of gas into the future. [...] Natural gas emissions comprise two important sources, those from the combustion of fossil fuels for energy to extract, process, and pipeline the gas and those from the fugitive releases of methane and CO2 in the extraction, venting and flaring of gas during processing.

Book excerpt: The scope of this paper excludes energy effi ciency and changes in the demand for energy services, both of which will be central components of a low-carbon energy future but are addressed elsewhere in the Trottier Energy Futures Project research and analysis program. [...] The assurance of an uninterrupted, reliable supply of electricity, and the cost of that reliable electricity, will depend on the cost of the whole system, and the role of each individual generation option can only be determined in that systems context. [...] Ultimately, the prospects for a transition to a low-carbon future depend not so much on the availability of the necessary physical resources, or on the cost and performance of any particular technol- ogy, as on the integrative strategies that combine the individual elements in systems that can deliver affordable, reliable, sustainable energy services. [...] Total potential generation would be a function of the availability of suitable roof space and the amount and type of land devoted to solar energy production and its proximity to the grid. [...] The pace of deployment will more likely depend on the role that develops for distributed, non-dispatchable generation in an emerging grid, and the trade-off between the value photovoltaic sources will command in the future grid and the value those same solar power systems will have to consumers "behind the meter".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the Grand Rapids Dam in the 1960s, hydroelectric development has dramatically altered the social, political, and physical landscape of northern Manitoba. The Nelson River has been cut up into segments and fractured by a string of dams, for which the Churchill River had to be diverted and new inflow points from Lake Winnipeg created to manage their capacity. Historic mighty rapids have shrivelled into dry river beds. Manitoba Hydro's Keeyask dam and generating station will expand the existing network of 15 dams and 13,800 km of transmission lines. In Our Backyard tells the story of the Keeyask dam and accompanying development on the Nelson River from the perspective of Indigenous peoples, academics, scientists, and regulators. It builds on the rich environmental and economic evaluations documented in the Clean Environment Commission’s public hearings on Keeyask in 2012. It amplifies Indigenous voices that environmental assessment and regulatory processes have often failed to incorporate and provides a basis for ongoing decision-making and scholarship relating to Keeyask and resource development more generally. It considers cumulative, regional, and strategic impact assessments; Indigenous worldviews and laws within the regulatory and decision-making process; the economics of development; models for monitoring and management; consideration of affected species; and cultural and social impacts. With a provincial and federal regulatory regime that is struggling with important questions around the balance between development and sustainability, and in light of the inherent rights of Indigenous people to land, livelihoods, and self-determination, In Our Backyard offers critical reflections that highlight the need for purposeful dialogue, principled decision making, and a better legacy of northern development in the future.

Book excerpt: 2019/20 The Donner Prize — Winner Is a national consensus on hydrocarbon development possible? The ongoing debate in Canada over the extraction of hydrocarbon resources and their transportation to markets exemplifies the country’s political polarization. Breakdown explores these tensions through economic, environmental, and political perspectives. The Trudeau Liberals and Alberta’s one-term NDP government attempted to find a compromise that satisfies the concerns of British Columbia, Canada’s First Nations, and environmentalists. But they still could not break the impasse on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. With new players now at the table, can Canada find a reasonable path forward?
Download or read book Just Cool It written by David Suzuki and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is the most important crisis humanity has faced, but we still confront huge barriers to resolving it. So, what do we do, and is there hope for humanity? The problem itself is complex, and there’s no single solution. But by understanding the barriers to resolving global warming and by employing a wide range of solutions—from shifting to clean energy to planting trees to reforming agricultural practices—we can get the world back on track. Just Cool It is David Suzuki at his most passionate. In this book, he offers a comprehensive look at the current state of climate science and knowledge and the many ways to resolve the climate crisis, imploring us to do what’s necessary to live in a better, cleaner future. When enough people demand action, change starts happening—and this time, it could be monumental.

Download or read book Urban Resilience written by Yoshiki Yamagata and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is on urban resilience – how to design and operate cities that can withstand major threats such as natural disasters and economic downturns and how to recover from them. It is a collection of latest research results from two separate but collaborating research groups, namely, researchers in urban design and those on general resilience theory. The book systematically deals with the core aspects of urban resilience: systems, management issues and populations. The taxonomy can be broken down into threats, systems, resilience cycles and recovery types in the context of urban resilience. It starts with a discussion of systems resilience models, focusing on the central idea that resilience is a moving average of costs (a set of trajectories in a two-player game paradigm). The second section explores management issues, including planning, operating and emergency response in cities with specific examples such as land-use planning and carbon-neutral scenarios for urban planning. The next section focuses on urban dwellers and specific people-related issues in the context of resilience. Agent-based simulation of behaviour and perception-based resilience, as well as brand crisis management are representative examples of the topics discussed. A further section examines systems like public utilities – including managing power supplies, cyber-security issues and models for pandemics. It concludes with a discussion of the future challenges and risks facing complex systems, for example in resilient power grids, making it essential reading for a wide range of researchers and policymakers.
