We held our annual Hill Day in Ottawa earlier this week, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and energy advocates to emphasize the critical role of nuclear energy in Canada's national strategy. Our discussions with federal representatives highlighted several key points: 1) National Competitiveness: The nuclear sector is more than an energy source—it's a strategic economic asset. We're creating high-skilled jobs, driving innovation, and positioning Canada as a global leader in clean energy solutions. 2) Energy Security: Our industry provides reliable, consistent power that supports Canada's growing economic needs. We're a critical backbone of our national energy infrastructure, ensuring stability and resilience across provinces. 3)Climate Leadership: With Canada's ambitious environmental goals, nuclear energy offers a powerful pathway to significant emissions reduction. We're not just talking about targets—we're delivering a concrete approach to meaningful climate action. 4)Economic Opportunity: The nuclear sector represents a profound investment in Canada's future. We're supporting communities, driving technological advancement, and creating opportunities that extend far beyond energy production. 5)Innovation Potential: Our industry touches multiple sectors—from healthcare to industrial applications—demonstrating the broad impact of our work and our commitment to solving complex national challenges. The conversations were substantive, forward-looking, and reinforced our industry's dedication to Canada's sustainable and prosperous future.

Commercial gas heat pump (GHP) pilot data is available! FortisBC installed four GHPs in a long-term care facility in Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada. With M&V data collected from May to August 2024, the Cooling Gas Utilization Efficiency (GUE) is 156%, Domestic Hot Water Heat Recovery is 138% and the combined GUE is 294%. Image: The chart below is from one of the pilot sites where the GHPs consistently operate to provide supplementary cooling in the first week of September 2024 and it shows the cooling GUE and Combined (cooling with DHW heat recovery) GUE during this period. #FortisBC #gasheatpumps #gasefficiency #energyefficiency

Alberta’s major carbon capture project revs up. Pathways Alliance’s request for proposals from pipe manufacturers (http://spr.ly/6049sJnZc) and talks with Ottawa (http://spr.ly/6041sJnZl) on funding, signal progress on the long-awaited project. Proposed by six major oilsands companies, the $16.5 billion CCS project (http://spr.ly/6042sJnZm) involves transporting carbon from 20 oilsands facilities by pipeline to a storage terminal in Alberta’s Cold Lake area, reducing emissions by 22 megatonnes a year, or around 10% of sector emissions.

Finance Canada announced the Canada Growth Fund’s fourth investment will support Varme Energy Inc., an Edmonton-based developer of waste-to-energy facilities with integrated carbon capture and storage. Parent firm Varme Energy AS is headquartered in Oslo, Norway. In partnership with Calgary-based Gibson Energy Inc., Varme is seeking to develop Canada’s first waste-to-energy project with carbon capture and storage in the Heartland industrial region northeast of Edmonton. The Canada Growth Fund would purchase up to 200,000 tonnes per year of carbon credits for 15 years at an initial price of $85 per tonne plus “escalation,” Finance Canada said. [Editor’s note: Even without escalation, that price amounts to $17 million per year, or a total of $255 million over 15 years]. Carbon credit offtake agreements – a form of carbon contracts for difference – de-risk emissions-reducing investments by guaranteeing the purchase of carbon credits for abated emissions at a fixed price. In January, the City of Edmonton awarded Varme a 15-year contract to collect and process 200,000 tonnes per year of municipal solid waste beginning in 2027. The new project will integrate carbon capture technology to safely and cleanly incinerate waste and produce affordable clean electricity, while creating jobs, lowering home energy costs, diverting waste from landfills and reducing emissions. Waste-to-energy with carbon capture has significant potential to be scaled-up for use in cities across Canada. Beyond Varme’s inaugural Edmonton project, the Canada Growth Fund will also have the opportunity to participate in future Canadian projects using Varme’s integrated carbon capture technology and waste-to-energy approach. #CanadaGrowthFund #CleanEnergy #WasteToEnergy #CarbonCapture #VarmeEnergy #SustainableTech #Edmonton #CarbonCredits #GreenInvestments #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #GibsonEnergy #EmissionsReduction #CleanTechnology #CanadianInnovation

CIAC was proud to contribute to this important report from Clean Energy Canada about the vital role of Canada's chemistry sector in the net zero future. The report also explores how to ensure Canada doesn't miss out on this opportunity. "Canada could be a key producer and exporter of the chemicals needed to power the energy transition, including those used in EVs, solar panels, and heat pumps. But seizing the opportunity will require the sector and governments to invest in cleaner products and cleaner production today."

It’s been one year since Alberta announced a moratorium on renewable energy projects and while the moratorium has since been lifted, the impacts are still being felt across our province. And with final drafts of the guidelines for renewable development not expected until the end of the year, the future of our industry in the province is still uncertain. Moving forward, it is crucial that transparent and constructive dialogue takes place among industry and government leaders to ensure the process for renewables is efficient, promotes local investment and maintains Alberta’s status as an energy leader.

Pipelines that transport carbon dioxide, hydrogen, biofuels, power or other products relevant to energy transition in Canada and the US are vital to enhancing and maintaining energy and infrastructure processes, but they can be complicated by regulatory, political or environmental factors. In this article, Manager of Environment and Regulatory, Energy Jason Gillespie, Vice President, Environment and Regulatory Services Jon Schmidt and Senior Environmental Project Manager Jeff Raun discuss how to navigate these challenges and move projects forward.
