This work will address the gaps of previous studies undertaken for the Arctic by developing energy model framework that incorporates uncertainty in prices, technology performance and variations in renewable resources caused by climate change. Expected results of the research might be identifying cost-effective risk hedging strategies that account for multiple and overlapping uncertainties within the […]

My doctoral project targets new solutions to recycle waste heat by turning it into electrical power. In particular, clean electrical power can be generated in a semiconductor when a temperature difference does exist between the hot and the cold side of said material. Our group at INRS-EMT has started a unique research line in Canada […]

The overall objective for this project is to support the research of two master’s students who would help advance the methods for modelling energy-climate policies, a field in which EMRG in the School of Resource and Environmental Management at SFU is one of the leading research units in the country and in which Navius Research […]

The proposed research will result in better understanding of the mechanism of ethanol and glycerol steam reforming while using Ni-based electrocatalysts. The main goal is hydrogen production from glycerol waste and ethanol. It will foster research in one of the promising process of hydrogen rich gas production. The results will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals, […]

Le programme de recherche dans lequel ce projet s’inscrit porte sur la trajectoire et la gouvernance de la transition énergétique en France. Le programme consiste à analyser la politique de transition énergétique à l’échelle du territoire pour comprendre les enjeux d’un nouveau mix énergétique qui combine des sources renouvelables et est connecté à un réseau […]

Developing energy efficient materials for new age technology is an area of extreme interest in academics as well industries. Hybrid perovskites are have proved to be rapidly growing to be promising materials in the field of solar cells with efficiencies reaching 23%. The versatile nature, simple synthesis route, tunability, dimensionality effects and other interesting features […]

Plant monitoring by sensor devices and cameras contributes to having better environmental conditions for plant growth, irrigation, and productivity. However, transmitting the plant images or sensor data packets in a wide farm is not available over a pre-existing infrastructure network. A Delay Tolerant Network, which may be composed of human-centric devices (also known as a […]

Pipelines are often subjected to longitudinal stresses due to ground movements such as moving slopes and discontinuous permafrost areas. In these cases, numerical models are used to calculate strain demand which is then compared to tensile and compressive strain capacities (TSC and CSC) which are functions of the pipeline and girth weld material properties. In […]

SeeO2 energy and the Birss group (UCalgary) have developed world-leading catalysts for RSOFC systems with promising performance for the production of syngas and power from H2O/CO2 feeds. Today, the company is aiming to scale-up this technology and move towards commercialization by building larger cells, up to 5 x 5 cm2 (16 cm2 electrode area). However, […]

Proposed Work- Design Assessment of Latent Heat Storage Systems (LHSS) Integrated with Smart Thermal Grids Latent heat storage is a coherent technique having a potential of integration with real-time applications. The energy is stored in the form of latent heat during melting of phase change material’s (PCM’s). This energy can be utilized during the peak […]

The project is a demonstration of Advanced Energy Technologies (AET)’s patented refining process for upgrading heavy oil products without diluent or extreme heat treatments. This produces lighter, higher value oil that is easier to work with throughout the process stream, with greater efficiency and less cost. AET will be conducting demonstration runs of the Hydrogen […]
