This report outlines a project to introduce fuel substitution and the use of a cleaner technology to the brick-manufacturing sector, which would result in reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while meeting the continued demand for bricks from the construction industry. The project proposes the construction of 20 natural gas-fired Hoffman Kilns, which would displace unsustainable coal-fired Bull Trench and Fixed Chimney kilns. Each kiln is estimated to provide nearly six times the capacity of the traditional kilns. The report includes detailed calculations of baseline and estimated emissions based on mitigation technology, presentation of an appropriate monitoring and verification approach, and estimated project costs. An investment plan and analysis of financial issues is complemented by a risk assessment and sensitivity analysis.

Reexamining Rates for Remote Renewable Energy How integrating energy justice in power purchase agreements can accelerate an Indigenous-led clean energy transition
In this paper, we consider the intersection of justice and energy with a special focus on the role of governments, regulators, and utilities in creating a fairer system of for power purchase agreements for Indigenous clean energy proponents. As part of the discussion, we interrogate the Bonbright Principles and their role in maintaining systemic barriers which directly affect the uptake of clean energy progress in remote Indigenous communities.
Enabling Community Renewable Energy Development Through Aggregation Helping Alberta communities participate in renewable energy projects
Renewable energy is booming in Alberta—and municipalities, Indigenous communities and community partners have shown a clear desire to take part in developing community generation renewable energy. Whether we are talking about buying or selling, municipalities could benefit from aggregation—joining together with other communities to gain benefits of scale and overcome barriers faced in isolation.
