An engineering concept study has concluded that the NWT could be running on 100% renewable energy by 2050 using technology that is commercially available today.
“A 100% Renewable Energy NWT by 2050 – Starting the Conversation” – was prepared for Alternatives North by mechanical engineer and former executive director of the Arctic Energy Alliance, Andrew Robinson.
The report establishes criteria and evaluates over 100 renewable energy options covering all sectors of energy use; heating, transportation, the mining industry and electricity production.
