"Net zero energy road maps from provincial governments can provide the missing direction. Road maps articulate a provincial government’s vision, objectives, and plans for how the province will meet its energy needs on the road to net zero," Chris Ragan and Rick Smith explains. </p> Mon, 08 Jul 2024 19:21:22 +0000 webfull 200732 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcisce-engage-seminar-hype-hope-355632 <h2>Energy Transition: From Hype to Hope</h2> <h3>Discussion about select emerging battery and carbon free fuel technologies that could contribute to achieving a global energy transition.</h3> Thu, 22 Feb 2024 15:22:53 +0000 webfull 198047 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcisce-learn-seminar-communicating-your-research-355115 <h2>Communicating Your Research</h2> <div> <div> </div> </div> Tue, 30 Jan 2024 19:41:20 +0000 webfull 197390 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcisce-interconnect-conference-351730 <p>Join us at the McGill Centre for Innovation in Storage and Conversion of Energy (McISCE) Interconnect Conference on October 11, 2023, at Redpath Hall, from 12:30-7:00 pm.</p> Fri, 06 Oct 2023 21:49:15 +0000 webfull 193650 at /channels /channels/channels/news/chris-ragan-canada-must-upgrade-its-electricity-grid-globe-and-mail-345767 <p>January 27, 2023 | Director <a href="//www.mcgill.ca/maxbellschool/our-people/mpp-teaching-faculty/christopher-ragan">Chris Ragan</a>  wrote that Canada must embark on a historic build-out of its power systems to ensure continued prosperity as the demand for clean energy accelerates in Canada.

A team of researchers led by Ï㽶ÊÓƵ has used data from 60 million individual American households to look into how carbon emissions caused by household energy use vary by race and ethnicity across the country. Paradoxically, this first national level analysis found that even though energy-efficient homes are more often found in Caucasian neighbourhoods, carbon emissions from these neighbourhoods are higher than in African American neighbourhoods.</p> Mon, 22 Nov 2021 15:00:31 +0000 webfull 174996 at /channels /channels/channels/news/scientists-warn-social-and-environmental-risks-tied-energy-transition-326683 <p>To meet the most ambitious 1.5º C climate goal requires a rapid phaseout of fossil fuels and mass use of renewables. However, new international research by Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB) warns that green energy projects can be as socially and environmentally conflictive as fossil fuel projects.</p> Thu, 03 Dec 2020 14:42:47 +0000 webfull 165808 at /channels /channels/channels/news/cross-country-energy-corridor-canada-ctv-news-297413 <p>May 24, 2019 | Conservative leader Andrew Scheer revived the idea of a coast-to-coast energy corridor, a policy that has picked up interest in recent years. Chris Ragan, Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy, comments on this policy. He warns that, given the difficulty of securing approval for energy infrastructure in Canada, "the country will want to find ways to get through tough approval processes to run more east-west energy grids". </p> <p><a href="https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/politics/2019/5/24/1_4435492.html">Read the full article here </a></p> Fri, 24 May 2019 18:37:05 +0000 webfull 149560 at /channels /channels/channels/event/report-launch-decarbonized-northeast-electricity-sector-value-regional-integration-287520 <h2>A Decarbonized Northeast Electricity Sector: The value of regional integration</h2> <h3>Décarboniser l’électricité du Nord-est nord-américain : un modèle pour analyser les gains d’une approche régionale</h3> <p> </p> Tue, 05 Jun 2018 18:34:31 +0000 webfull 138376 at /channels /channels/news/2013-scotiabank-ecoliving-awards-finalists-compete-canada%E2%80%99s-top-prize-home-energy-efficiency-solutio-226766 <p>Click through to see the full <a href="http://www.justmeans.com/press-releases/2013-Scotiabank-EcoLiving-Awards-Finalists-compete-for-Canadas-top-Prize-in-Home-Energy-Efficiency-Solutions/12448.html" target="_blank">press release</a> with the finalists<span style="text-decoration:underline"></span><span style="text-decoration:underline"></span></p> <p> Tue, 14 May 2013 17:10:58 +0000 webfull 96696 at /channels /channels/channels/event/zero-waste-week-mcgill-2013-231176 <h3>Greening McGill, in collaboration with others, presents Zero Waste Week 2.0!</h3> <p> </p> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 14:29:41 +0000 webfull 99414 at /channels
