BrainBox AI launches lab to showcase smart building tech
BrainBox AI has unveiled its new artificial intelligence (AI) innovation lab and showroom in Montreal that showcases its claim that buildings using its technology can see energy savings of up to 30 per cent.
EDF, Indigenous partners win PPA for Ontario wind project
EDF power solutions North America, the Red Rock Indian Band and Fort William First Nation have secured a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator for the 200-megawatt Northern Breeze Energy wind project.
Slumping EV sales crippling Canada's economic 'backbone'
Up until last year, Ottawa had focused on building a domestic electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. But a collapse in demand and ongoing trade disruptions with the U.S. have pushed it into triage mode.
Canada’s first tall timber Passive House
Indigenous families and individuals are now moving into Canada’s first tall timber Passive House building in Vancouver. A Passive House certification guarantees that buildings consume up to 90 per cent less heating and cooling energy than conventional buildings.
Canada’s Chinese-built EV quota continues to draw interest
Canada’s quota system for China-built EVs continues to attract interest from multiple automakers. Global Affairs Canada said officials are working with “several” companies seeking access to the initial allocation. The first quota period covers 24,500 vehicles and runs until Aug. 31.
Can EVs work in Saskatchewan’s North?
Long driving distances, harsh winters and a lack of charging stations have long made EVs seem unrealistic in northern Saskatchewan. Aurora Renewables, a clean energy company majority owned by English River First Nation, is leading a provincewide EV awareness campaign.
Oilsands firms can afford carbon capture: Minister
Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said he’s “highly confident” that Alberta oilsands companies can absorb the cost of building carbon capture, despite their protests that Canada’s climate rules hurt their global competitiveness.
Don’t throw that home away!
COLUMN: We need to aim for a circular rather than a linear economy. This means considering the entire life cycle of the goods we produce. Homes and buildings are a good place to start, according to David Suzuki.
The companies trying to solve the battery fire problem
Fires and explosions from lithium batteries for e-bikes and e-scooters have led to millions in damage from Nanaimo to Moncton — and even deaths. PopWheels and Powershelter, both launched in Canada this spring, offer fireproof charging lockers for e-bike batteries.
Fibreglass particles a potential ‘forever’ contaminant
Scientists have found concentrations of tiny fibreglass fragments in B.C.'s Cowichan Estuary’s biofilm and even more in the estuary’s sediments – raising concerns that fibreglass in marine environments could become a new “forever” contaminant.
Why isn't there more solar power in Manitoba?
In the early 1970s, licence plates were stamped with the slogan “Sunny Manitoba” — a nod to long summer days and frequent sun dogs reflecting off of snow. While the slogan later changed, Manitoba’s ranking as Canada’s second-sunniest province has not.
Sheep are changing farming communities' minds on solar
When Rafael Lara immigrated to Canada, he had dreams of owning his own farm and grazing his own flocks. Now, Lara gets paid to graze his sheep by solar farms that need to keep the grass and underbrush down.
3 projects show solar's gigascale future
Gigascale construction requires a new level of land access, workforce mobilization and transmission planning. Collectively, these projects presage a future when the sunniest, most remote places in the world serve as electrical breadbaskets, supplying energy to population hubs far away.
Dubious Chinese carbon projects show Euro market’s flaws
Companies in at least nine European countries bought carbon credits from projects in China that appear not to exist or were verified by an auditor-turned-developer who treated the two jobs as a revolving door, a Bloomberg investigation found.
Iron battery breakthrough could transform energy storage
Chinese scientists have achieved a breakthrough in "all-iron flow battery" technologies, which are said to be 80 times cheaper than lithium batteries, making a preferable choice if they can be used for a longer period.
The carbon credit that fights hunger and food waste
Reducing food waste is one of the fastest ways to cut methane emissions, yet mountains of rotting organics clog landfills. Climate tech startup Brightly has developed a first-of-a-kind solution to turn this paradox into a measurable win.
