Hydro-Quebec in Canada will provide C$100,000 (US$77,000) over two years to an initiative that will develop and implement a modeling tool for climate change researchers. Hydro-Quebec President and Chief Executive Officer Eric Martel made the announcement Aug. 28 at a signing ceremony in Boston. The research initiative is being spearheaded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S., Ouranos in Montreal and business school HEC Montreal. The tool will focus on Quebec and New England and will seek to identify opportunities for optimal expansion of renewable energy sources in the two regions, including expanded trade in electricity, according to a press release. Cooperation with these research centers will help the company advance its robust R&D agenda on the regional and global levels, the company said.
