The Government of Canada is committed to building a long-term energy target for the economy, creating smart jobs and helping the herbal resource sectors. This commitment will be more vital than ever as the economy reopens and plans are made to recover from COVID-19. crisis.
The Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Coast Guard of Canada, on behalf of the Honourable Seamus O’Regan, Minister of Natural Resources of Canada, together with Lenore Zann, Member of Parliament for Cumberland-Colchester, announced an investment of C$9. 4 million in 4 tidal energy projects that will bring blank energy technologies to the Atlantic region and Canada will build a whiter future.
Tidal energy is a renewable energy generated through tides and ocean currents that has the potential to particularly reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and local air quality by replacing electricity generated from fossil fuels.
The announcement came after an excursion to the amenities of the Fundy Ocean Energy Research Center in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Investments are:
The first allocation funded through natural resources canada’s Energy Innovation Program (NRCan), which supports emissions relief allocations, adding GHG, through research, progression and demonstration of blank energy technologies, to assemble blank expansion targets by 2050.
The time allocation was funded through NRCan’s Clean Growth Program, which invests in blank generation studies and progression allocations in the energy, mining and forestry sectors in Canada. The program is a C $ 155 million investment fund that is helping the herbal resource sectors and innovators combine to drive the progression of blank technologies that lessen the effects on air, land and water. improving competitiveness and creating jobs.
The Clean Growth Program also gave the University of Manitoba the ability to collaborate with CanmetENERGY Ottawa in optimizing river turbine systems through virtual studies and the identity of potential hydrokinetic resources in northern Canada through the processing of radar satellite symbols. the Clean Technology Science and Technology Assistance Initiative (STAC), which supplies federal laboratory to innovators, to help bring blank Canadian technologies to market by offering expertise in federal studies, services, and equipment.
Funding for the remaining projects comes from NRCan’s Emerging Renewable Energy program, a C$200 million program of the 2017 Budget and the C$180 billion Invest in Canada infrastructure plan for transit projects, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, industry and transportation routes, and northern Canada. and northern communities.
The government remains committed to building long-term blank energy and supporting the country’s herbal resource sectors in this difficult economic period.
“Investing in new types of power generation, such as tidal energy, is creating jobs in Nova Scotia and across Canada. Investing in tidal energy is helping us eliminate emissions until 2050. “The Honourable Seamus O’Regan, Minister of Natural Resources of Canada.
“With the longest coastline in the world, Canada will be a world leader in tidal energy. This renewable energy source has a prospect of particularly growing our long-term blue economy, but we want to invest now. There are brilliant groups across the country moving forward. “This vision, and our government must be a spouse in its efforts. That’s why, today, we’re proud to invest in 4 cutting-edge projects that have one goal: building a thriving tidal industry across Canada. The Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Ocean Fisheries and the Canadian Coast Guard of Canada.
“We are building a stronger, greener and more inclusive long term by harnessing the strength of Mother Nature tides and river currents to deliver clean, eco-friendly electricity to Canada’s communities and businesses for generations to come. “Lenore Zann, Deputy of Cumberland – Colchester.
“The investments we are making with the federal government today will boost Nova Scotia’s tidal energy industry as they shape cleaner, longer-term energy for all of us. We are building some of the vital milestones we have achieved that position us more as a center of excellence in the tidal industry. This shows how far we have come in our combined efforts to perceive how to take advantage of some of the world’s toughest tides as a green economy develops. Derek Mombourquette, Minister of Energy and Mines of Nova Scotia.
“Canada’s investment reflects the development of global trust in our generation and our ability to use it in incredibly challenging environments. This will be a big step forward for the energy of the tides in Nova Scotia and Canada. NRCan gives you greater momentum at a time when the world is suffering to recover from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nova Innovation reaches local corporations in our tidal energy projects as a component of our business model. That’s the technique we’ve taken in Shetland, and that’s the technique we’re going to take in Nova Scotia. We are sure that we will be essential to make the energy of the tides an invaluable resource for the people of Nova Scotia. Kim MacNeil, Head of Business Development, North America, Nova Innovation.
As a component of NRCan’s Clean Growth Investment Program, the Canadian Hydrokinetic Turbine Testing Center (CHTTC) at the University of Manitoba is assisting hydrokinetic turbine expanders and conducting studies to expand the new generation of renewable force to force network paints into networked micro-paints. As a precondition for ending reliance on diesel In the First Nations and remote communities, the progression of key production technologies is an essential requirement. This hydrokinetic turbine curriculum will help sustainable communities through fossil-free living and job creation in the long run. CHTTC is pleased with paints with components that add Waterotor, Bridge Gap Renewables, Turtle Island Innovations, canmetENERGY Research Center and SOAR to boost marine strength at the network painting point in Canada Dr. Eric Bibeau, Professor of Renewable Energy, University of Manitoba.
“OERA’s finances and NRCan’s EcoENERGY Innovation Initiative program have helped Acadia University, Dalhousie University, Fundy Tidal Inc. , the University of New Brunswick and Dynamic Systems Analysis chart the way to Grand Passage and Small Passage as a global focus on generating energy development We have those in the grid and government subsidized through a world-class resource , site data and required collaborations between industry, study organizations and the chain of origin Projects announced today are critical to the next steps in our local waters and identify a path to good fortune in Fundy Bay in FORCE and in remote communities that rely on diesel throughout Canada. Greg Trowse, director of SOAR and resident of Freeport, Nova Scotia.
“This investment supports essential studies that will ensure that it is imaginable to track and report well the interactions of fish and marine mammals with electrical devices in high-speed marine environments. Our paints will help advance the tide energy industry by identifying reliable environmental tracking solutions. Alisdair McLean, Executive Director, OERA (Offshore Energy Research Association).
“Tidal energy has great potential to reduce emissions and meet climate replacement targets. To explore this potential in a responsible way, we want an accurate assessment of the potential threats that tidal devices could pose to marine life, especially fish. NRCan’s investment supports the creation of a world-class tool to assess the threat of interaction with fish, whether biological and physical knowledge of the site, even before a tidal device goes to the water. That’s how we do it. ” Tony Wright, CEO, Fundy Ocean Research Center.
