Three pilot projects in Massachusetts will connect ground-source heat pumps to heat and cool entire neighbourhoods.
Nikki Bruno, Eversource’s director of clean technologies, said the utility has hopes to expand well beyond its $10.2 million, three-year pilot project in a lower-income neighbourhood in the city of Framingham, Massachusetts.

This past June, the province announced $234 million to support 8,750 new gas connections (a cost of $26,285.71 per connection) in rural, northern and Indigenous communities. The funding will come from a surcharge of $1 per month to existing natural gas customers, which includes 3.6 million homes and 160,000 businesses.

For Princeton University to meet its energy needs, along with its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by its 300th anniversary in 2046, a complete rethinking is required on how energy is used and supplied in every lab, every office, every dorm room, in each parking lot and garage — even on pathways and playing fields.

Work has resumed on the net-zero-carbon project for the redevelopment of the Saugeen First Nation amphitheatre site, which aims to create a tourism magnet and 40 or 50 jobs for community members in a couple of years or so.
The project plans call for a net-zero-carbon project, with a geothermal heating system and using stone and wood as the primary building materials, not steel and concrete.

Expect high gas prices, oilpatch labour crunch, pipeline friction.
Warren Mabee, director of Queen's Institute for Energy and Environmental Policy in Kingston, Ont., is expecting the plan to show how a country dependent on fossil fuels will begin moving toward net zero.
Mabee said he's also watching to see how technology evolves to help with the energy transition, such as geothermal energy and improvements in battery storage.

Although important progress is being made in Canada to transition to clean energy and cut carbon pollution, these efforts need to both increase and accelerate. By putting a price on pollution, phasing out coal-fired power, and committing to develop a net-zero clean-electricity standard, the federal government is putting many of the big pieces in place.

The City of Vaughan, which has long prioritized environmental performance and resilience, engaged a Toronto studio to design the new Carrville Community Centre, Library, and District Park, with the goal of achieving LEED Gold, Net-Zero Carbon and being adaptable as a disaster relief centre.
Early in the design phase, a net-zero feasibility study analyzed a variety of strategies to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. As such, the project incorporates resilient design technologies such as geothermal heating and cooling sources and renewable energy generation.
Upon completion, this centre will set a new standard for net-zero carbon and energy conservation.

Eliminate their fossil fuel consumption by 2050, make energy poverty a thing of the past, and free up 50 terawatt-hours of electricity for other uses—enough to eliminate 60 million tonnes of carbon pollution per year if it were used to power 10 million electric vehicles, according to an analysis by Efficiency Canada.

Ford's Progressive Conservatives want to lure the big automakers to produce electric vehicles in southern Ontario.
'We're going to be the number one manufacturer of electric battery-operated cars in North America,' said Ontario Premier Doug Ford during a news conference Monday.
Premier Doug Ford's government is touting Ontario as a future electric vehicle manufacturing hub, and linking that to a fresh push for a huge mining development in the northern part of the province.
Is this a win for decarbonization efforts for Ontario? What do you think? Let us know!
