Since the last IEA review in 2015, Canada has made a series of enterprising international and domestic commitments to put the country on a path towards transforming its energy system, including a target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40‑45% by 2030 from 2005 levels and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Canada’s energy […]
Effective Decarbonization – An Energy Efficiency Approach for the Mining Industry

Diesel is a significant energy source for the mining industry. It is used for material transport such as the hauling of ore and overburden and for process heating. Mobile (hauling trucks, loader,..) and heat generating equipment constitute the key activities to Decarbonize the operations using Energy Conservation Measure ECM and to achieve short term results. […]
Energy Efficiency, a Key Pillar of short term Net Zero Decarbonisation goals

Key Pillars of Decarbonisation for short terms results ….(from p64) Achieving the rapid reduction in CO2 emissions over the next 30 years in the NZE requires a broad range of policy approaches and technologies (Figure 2.12). The key pillars of decarbonisation of the global energy system are energy efficiency, behavioural changes, electrification, renewables, hydrogen and […]
GHG emissions scope 1 and scope 2 – EPA Guidance

Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organization (e.g., emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles). Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Although scope 2 emissions physically occur at the […]
Application of IIot in energy managment and process optimization

Reduce costs and improve performance with intelligent design and common sense The Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, and energy management can be combined to make a heady cocktail that suggests an exciting future with reduced costs and improved performance. However, as is the case with any cocktail, you could be left with a severe hangover, […]
So why the rise of the IIoT now ?

… because affordable technology enables it… sensors can be both low-cost and connected Whether you call it the Industrial Internet or Internet of Things, or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), this wave of technology could bring about major changes to the way companies manufacture items, ship products and manage their physical assets. The possibilities […]
