8 8 Advanced commercial buildings Residential biomass District heating for communities Small hydro Wind energy Technology Transfer – Areas of Collaborations

9 9 4oC4oC one of the largest district energy systems in North America, providing heating and/or cooling services to over 130 buildings in downtown Toronto. Deep Lake Water Cooling – Toronto Chills Out What - cold water (4 o C) from Lake Ontario will provide air-conditioning to 100 office buildings in Toronto’s harbour front How –Pipes transport cold water from Lake Ontario, filter it and pump to a chilled water plant Impact - Reduces GHG by 40,000 T/yr – the equivalent of taking 8,000 cars off the road Innovation - largest lake water cooling system in the world and first of its kind in Canada Water captured at 85 metres

10 10 Canadian Centre for Housing Technology Twin Test Houses Identical construction, twin R-2000 reference houses allowing side-by-side comparisons Simulated occupancy Real-world testing for innovative technology such as residential fuel cells, CHP systems, grid connection for PV, and hydrogen/natural gas hybrids. “Stepping stone” to field trials Information Centre Demonstration of adaptable housing (Flexhouse) Showcase for innovative products Meeting room

11 11 Drake Landing Solar Community- Alberta, Canada Town of Okotoks - leading Community in Sustainable Development with a proactive approach to community energy planning First solar seasonal storage community in North America First in world >90% solar fraction Reduction of 6 tonnes GHG per home per year Largest subdivision of R-2000 single family homes in Canada

12 12 Wind-Diesel Energy Installation of the first Canadian Wind-Diesel demonstration project was completed in Ramea, Newfoundland in 2004 The project consists of six 65 kW wind turbines, with an installed wind energy capacity of 390 kW, or roughly 1 million kWh of electricity per year NRCan’s unique Wind Diesel Integrated Control System (WDICS), integrates the wind energy with the existing diesel generating system The project will also achieve an estimated 750 tonnes per year of GHG emissions reductions, and improvements in air quality Installation of the Wind Machines for the Wind-Diesel System in Ramea, Newfoundland

13 13 Hydrogen Highway – 2010 Winter Olympics 7 stations on the Sea to Sky Hwy More than vehicles: stationary, micro, portable hydrogen and fuel cell technologies

14 14 International Flaring Consortium (IPC) CETC - Ottawa has a world-unique Flare Test Facility and also established the IPC Flares are a significant source of CO2 emissions The IPC address emissions, regulations and establishes best practices for the optimal operation of industrial flares Partners include BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, John Zink, NovaCHEM and Saudi Aramco Flare stacks at Imperial Oil in Sarnia, Ontario Flaring in Nigeria

15 15 ēKOCOMFORT® Consortium A CETC led consortium of manufacturers, trade associations, utilities and government agencies The consortium created the ēKOCOMFORT® line of high performance systems for housing construction products Partners include CMHC, Enbridge Gas Distribution, Union Gas Products Ltd. And a many individual companies

16 16 The CPCC is focused on the technical, environmental and economic viability of new clean coal-burning technology Goals include retrofitting an existing coal-burning power plant by 2007 and building a full-scale demonstration facility by 2010 Partners include CETC, various utilities, coal producers, federal and provincial governments, EPRI, IEA Greenhouse Program and IEA Clean Coal Centre Canadian Clean Power Coalition (CPCC) Clean Coal- Is it possible?
