  • emining fabrizio conti JOlAzPkNsg unsplash Kickstarting the eMining Consortium The mining industry relies on decades-old technologies that generate large amounts of waste, release CO2 emissions, and consume significant quantities of chemical feedstocks. As demand for critical minerals increases to support the global energy transition, minimizing these environmental impacts has become crucial, and electrochemical approaches offer a sustainable alternative, using renewable energy to enable circular economy principles through waste recycling… Read More
  • Reliable Data Centre Models for Power System Planning Reliable Data Centre Models for Power System Planning Ontario’s electricity grid is undergoing rapid transformation driven by the growth of large-scale, power-electronic-dominated loads such as data centres and industrial facilities, which present unique operational challenges due to their voltage sensitivity, rapid power fluctuations, and the risk of simultaneous tripping during disturbances. Recent disturbances across North America have highlighted the emerging risks of voltage instability and large-scale load loss… Read More

Climate Positive Energy has integrated into the Lawson Climate Institute.

Integration of the Climate Positive Energy Initiative (CPE) into the Lawson Climate Institute (LCI) represents a strategic evolution that amplifies University of Toronto’s collective impact on climate solutions. CPE's established expertise in sustainable energy research and innovation becomes a cornerstone of the Lawson Climate Institute's comprehensive mandate to address the climate crisis through technology, policy, and education.

Existing and ongoing grants, research projects, partnerships, and other activity under Climate Positive Energy will continue uninterrupted and will transition to operate under the Lawson Climate Institute brand in the coming months.
