Abstract

The 34 high-potential projects whose goal is to help accelerate the implementation of renewable energy technologies are shown here. Renewable energy refers to several energy sources that produce electrical, thermal or mechanical energy without unnecessarily depleting resources. The renewable energy sources are generally classified as water, biomass, wind, solar, earth and energy from wastes. The development and use of renewable energies is one of the two major strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from energy consumptions. The 34 projects serve as prime examples of how renewable energy can be implemented into the Canadian energy market.
