Mapping wasted: EDMONTON-AREA INDUSTRIAL SITES COULD POWER 5,100 HOMES

摘要

There's a place for emissions escaping from industrial stacks across Canada's largest hydrocarbon processing region, according to a first-of-its-kind study by a partnership between CMC Research Institutes, Alberta Innovates - Technology Futures (ATTF) and Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA). In an effort to better understand the energy flows and associated waste in Alberta's Industrial Heartland region, the Community Integrated Energy Mapping Feasibility Study found that 97 megawatts could be applied towards other uses. That's enough waste heat to power 5,100 homes and warm up another 15,200 in the province, while reducing carbon emissions by 151,000 tonnes.
