The study determines the externality impacts on Alberta assuming the use nuclear power instead of coal and natural gas. For historical time (1976-2006) it was found that replacing coal generation with nuclear power could have displaced over a million kilotons (kt) of Carbon dioxide (CO_2) ...
In Canada, natural gas is only the third-biggest electricity source (behind hydro and nuclear), accounting for11% of the 632 TWhof electricity produced in 2019. Alberta is the only province with natural gas as its main source of electricity. ...
Coal-fired electricity generation in U.S. amounted to 675 terawatt hours in 2023, nearly 19 percent less in comparison to the previous year. A decade earlier, almost two thousand terawatt hours of electricity was generated from coal combustion in the country. In 2023, coal accounted for nearly...
In Ontario, the only charge that changes is the generation charge. The electricity is still delivered by the grid, so the price per kilowatt for delivery stays the same. The same regulatory charges per kilowatt apply regardless of where those kilowatts came from. As you can see, less than ...
k) Major per capita energy conservation, in part realized by urban siting of nuclear power plants to efficiently use low grade heat rejected by thermal electricity generation for biofuel drying, domestic hot water and comfort heating; l) A major world human population reduction; m) Adoption of ...
Influence of climate change mitigation technology on global demands of water for electricity generation. Int. J. Greenh. Gas. Control 13, 112–123 (2013). Article Google Scholar Ali, B. The cost of conserved water for coal power generation with carbon capture and storage in Alberta, Canada...
As a brief addition to a review of Alberta's renewables auctions,Hastings-Simon et al. (2022)made a similar proposal that they called “benchmarked” CfD. The authors suggest using a weighted average of a benchmark and actual generation to balance incentives and risk exposure. The proposal is...
Thus, self-generation is preferred regarding objective (1.3), especially when many high-carbon technologies are dispatched to cover electricity consumption. We define a per kWh-GHG rate for self-generation and purchased electricity, described by ghgDER and ghgMm,d,h. The latter reflects the ...
I received many helpful comments from seminar participants at Case Western Reserve University, Rutgers University, Santa Clara University, University of Alberta, University of California Berkeley, University of Connecticut, University of Maryland, University of Massachusetts Amherst, University of Nevada Reno...
The country boasts one of the cleanest grids in the world, but that label is threatened as provinces such as Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan remain heavily dependent on natural gas and see it as a critical and reliable source to meet future demand. ...
