Energy Demands in the Ring of Fire – The Need for a Comprehensive PlanNetworking Refreshment Break will be announcedDr. Christine Kaszycki
Professor Dean Millar This presentation will examine the electricity transmission and distribution systems in the Far North of Ontario to highlight potential strengthening and upgrading options that may be necessary to support existing and new mining activity - as well as northern communities. For off-grid solutions, possible on-site electricity supply options will be set out. In particular, those that integrate conventional technologies, such as diesel or gas engines, with those generating using renewable energy, such as wind energy or solar photovoltaics, will be discussed. Running both types of energy system together delivers supply reliability from the conventional component, and lower cost, from the renewables. The cost of transporting diesel or propane fuels to the North is such that any local supply of heating fuel or fuel for tractive power may look financially attractive - even at the relatively small scales that may be involved initially. However, solutions offering triple bottom line benefits are the most desirable. These are the ones that benefit the northern environment and societies as well as development project economics. Steven Lindley
Rob Sinclair Status update on planning challenges and options for meeting electricity needs in the north of Dryden area:
Dr. Peter G. Telford The presentation will review the energy supply challenges facing the Ring of Fire and the remote, mostly First Nation communities of northern Ontario. It'll focus on peat – a sustainable bioenergy resource which is abundant and accessible across much of northern Ontario and in many other regions of Canada and can be developed and managed by a community for the benefit of the community, reducing energy and infrastructure costs, and creating permanent jobs in areas needing them the most. |
