The research project is led by Climate Positive Energy members Prof. Yue Li and Prof. Shashi Kant, and Post Doctoral Fellow Dr. Ashita Allamraju, in collaboration with the Canada Games Council, Racing to Zero, and Canadian Olympic Committee.
Climate Positive Energy was pleased to welcome Toronto Hydro Chief Engineering Officer Elias Lyberogiannis, accompanied by a delegate of Toronto Hydro senior staff members, for a special update on the CPE-led Grid Modernization Centre.
The system is based on a new concept combustor that is fuelled by natural gas – but captures carbon from the natural gas prior to combustion in a self-sustained manner. Simultaneously, this also enables generation of hydrogen and its immediate consumption to generate decarbonized thermal energy.
On Friday, July 26, Climate Positive Energy (CPE) welcomed the Honourable Ya’ara Saks, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Member of Parliament for York Centre, to U of T for a $5-million announcement.
Shatha Qaqish-Clavering provided an update on CPE’s Grid Modernization Centre, which presents a unique opportunity for Canadian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as part of the meeting.
The event brought together University of Toronto’s faculty with industry experts who are leading important technical and policy aspects of the clean energy transition.
Recognizing that the transition to net-zero will require changes to the mix of technologies and associated supply chains for meeting both local and regional energy needs, the research team proposes to assess how mineral supply chains constrain the North American energy transition.
