CAE Energy Pathways Project

ProGrid is pleased to assist the Canadian Academy of Engineering with the evaluation of its Energy Pathways proposals. Fellows of the Academy have had an opportunity to play a critical role in this project, and thereby influence the course of energy development in Canada.

The proposals span a broad range of renewable and non-renewable energy pathways. These documents have been prepared by expert teams, Proponents, who have made the case that Canada should increase its efforts in the development and commercialization of specific pathways.

View the evaluation report.   

 

The Canadian Academy of Engineering has also published the ebook “Canada: Winning as a Sustainable Energy Superpower”, representing more than five years of work on Canada’s energy opportunities. Click here www.clembowman.info/EnergyPathways.html to download the two-volume book, and a special Energy Supremacy report by the Globe and Mail on May 25, 2012, which provides highlights from the book.
