Energy potential and metrics study : an Alberta context

Description

The report includes a comprehensive view of all major energy resources in Alberta and the pathways that are used to create basic energy commodities used in Alberta, namely, heat, electricity and transportation fuels. A broad span of consistent metrics are used to assess each resource, making it possible to understand energy availability, energy density, and the environmental impact of a wide range of energy resources and pathways in Alberta.

Usage Considerations

The Alberta Government (the Alberta Department of Energy) contracted Jacobs Consultancy Canada Inc. (Jacobs Consultancy) in 2012 to carry out an Energy Potential and Metrics Study— An Alberta Context (the “Study”) to more systematically understand the range of energy resources that could potentially supply energy to meet Alberta’s needs and do so in a manner that would further the characterization and comparison of energy resources. Jacobs Consultancy and the Alberta Department of Energy formed a Study Team, which was guided by a Technical Steering Committee who reviewed the work and offered comments and direction throughout the Study.
