                                               Welcome
On behalf of our interdisciplinary team from the Universities of Calgary, Alberta, Toronto, Waterloo,
and Western Ontario, I am pleased to welcome you to our 4th annual REDEVELOP Challenge. This
is our 2nd conference using a virtual platform in this time of change in the energy-sector and during a
global pandemic. REDEVELOP brings people together to work across disciplines, distance and
cultures. Our collaborators from industry, government and Indigenous communities may have noticed
that we rebranded last year, from a focus on the responsible development of low-permeability
hydrocarbon resources to that of low-carbon energy resources; an adaptation to change. This week,
you will hear from four innovative, multi-university teams of graduate students who will ask you to
consider how this next generation of science, engineering and policy leaders will think about energy.

Since 2017, we have trained 83 students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. REDEVELOP
training is based on effective communication and holistic problem-solving using a range of tools.
Communication can take many forms. This week, 20 graduate students will demonstrate their ability
to deliver scientific and socio-economic facts, as well as cultural and political views, to a range of
audiences. They will do this effectively using verbal, written, pictorial and animated platforms. In order
to achieve these skillsets, they have undergone not only technical training, but also industrial-
organization psychology and Indigenous relations and engagement. To date, 30 REDEVELOP grads
have completed their academic programs and are working in their chosen field in Canada and around
the world. Four have gone on to doctoral studies. Fifty have completed internships and more than 50
have published peer-reviewed journal articles. The significance of internships can be hands-on
experience and jobs after graduation, while publications are the path to sharing knowledge and
changing the world.

I would like to express our sincere thanks to the many industry and government collaborators and
Indigenous elders who showed outstanding support and patience in their mentorship of this year's
teams.

                                                                           Dr. David Eaton
                                                                          Chair of REDEVELOP

                                    This virtual conference is powered by:
                                                      and

of The 50 Most Influential Canadian Business Leaders by Report on Business
Magazine, in 2017. Jim also received a Commendation from the Governor General for
Outstanding Service in 2016, when the Fort McKay First Nation community fed and
sheltered some 5000 wildfire evacuees before the band's 400 residents had to flee
themselves. In 1986, Chief Boucher established the Fort McKay Group of Companies
and numerous First Nation joint ventures, with a vision of creating employment, building
educational opportunities, and economic advancement to improve the community’s
standard of living. Under his leadership, FMGOC has grown into one of the most
successful First Nation – owned business ventures in Canada, with annual revenues in                 Jim Boucher
excess of $500 million. Similarly, the FMFN has grown into a healthy, vibrant community
with almost zero unemployment, and a $65 million trust fund. In 2017, Jim was a driving
force behind the FMFN $545 million purchase of 49% of Suncor’s East Tank Farm
Development, and in 2020, he created the Saa Dene group, with a focus on Indigenous
economic inclusion in the global economy. A supporter of the advancement of
Indigenous people, Saa Dene sponsors a long list of education, health and wellness,
culture, social and athletics initiatives.

Impact of Alberta Emission Reduction Policies on the
Feasibility of CCUS at a Natural Gas Power Plant
Afsahi, B.1, Ghavidel, A.2, Grimeau, K.N.1, Huang, B.1 and Mustafa, F.1

This study illustrates how current and future carbon management policies, such as
carbon pricing and TIER, may impact the addition of a post combustion carbon capture
facility to the Cascade power plant and the neighboring Indigenous communities
relying on its success. Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) typically
extracts carbon dioxide (CO2) from an emission source for utilization and permanent
storage. Cascade is a 900-megawatt (MW) natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power
plant in Alberta supported by the Indigenous Communities Syndicate, comprising six
First Nation communities. It is scheduled to be in operation by 2023.

CCUS is an important technology to meet Canada’s Paris Agreement obligation and
net-zero ambition by 2050. As current renewable energy sources are insufficient to
meet Alberta’s near-term electricity demands, Alberta will continue to rely on fossil-
based sources of electricity, such as natural gas for the near to mid-term.

The most significant barrier to CCUS implementation is the high cost associated with
carbon capture technology. In this study, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) with
and without carbon capture is shown to differ by 2.5-3 cents per kWh, assuming no
TIER emissions credits are earned. However, as the carbon tax exceeds
$105/tonneCO2, Cascade’s LCOE will be lower with CCUS and TIER (Fig.1). With the
current TIER benchmark of 0.37 tCO2/MWh, the LCOE model shows the carbon price
needs to be $75/tonneCO2 before it is beneficial to implement CCUS at Cascade,
whereas it shows $90/tonneCO2 to make CCS beneficial (Fig.2). This highlights the
importance for firm benchmarks within TIER for natural gas electricity generation so
that facilities like Cascade can plan ahead accordingly. Rapid changes to the
benchmark structure could negatively impact these facilities and their investors.
Therefore, clarity and consultation with the electricity facilities is needed before future
adjustments take place.

Feasibility Study of Geothermal Energy Projects in
Yukon with Greenhouse Agriculture

Lonn N. Brown1, Gideon G. Choi2, Kimberly D. Markvoort2, Andreas M. Murphy2
and Ali Yaghoubi3

Challenges associated with affordable, nutritious food security for Indigenous
communities in Northern Canada have been documented for decades[1]. In cold and
remote climates, the limiting factor for economical food production is adequate energy
to maintain the temperature, light, and humidity needed for plant growth. Geothermal
energy extracted from internal planetary heat is a low-carbon form of energy-on-
demand[2]. This work explored the feasibility of greenhouse agriculture supported by
geothermal energy to improve food security in Yukon.

A demonstration greenhouse design is provided, and two cases are considered:
heating the greenhouse for use year-round, versus a lower-energy version which can
grow vegetables for 10-months of the year. A first-order economic feasibility study was
completed for the greenhouse; modeling the main sources and sinks of energy and
estimating crop yields. The design is shown to become cost competitive versus a
diesel heating alternative within 22 years (Figure 1). A comparison of the greenhouse
production to the nutritional requirements of three Yukon communities was completed
to forecast the impact on community food security. Further, two thermal energy supply
cases were considered: one where the borehole for the geothermal ground source
heat pump is purpose-drilled, and one where the greenhouse is heated by waste heat
from a geothermal power plant. Results indicate that greenhouses attached to a 3-5
MW power plant could provide as many as a million servings of vegetables yearly to
nearby communities, while reducing CO2 emissions (Figure 2).

A review of the legislative and regulatory barriers of community-based geothermal
projects optimized with greenhouse agriculture was conducted. Additionally, this study
completed a review of potential funding sources that could offset initial high capital
costs of geothermal energy projects. Further studies are needed to determine if
greenhouse agriculture may provide increased social license towards geothermal
energy projects.

Investigating the Feasibility of Hydrogen to Reduce
Diesel Reliance in Remote Communities

Fong, M.1, JalilPour, S.1, Wallace, C.1, Wu, P. S.2 and Zeinabady, D.1

As Canada looks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen is considered to be
a viable replacement for fossil fuels[1,2]. When produced through electrolysis from
renewable energy, hydrogen is a zero-emission fuel source and utilized in a fuel-cell
to create electricity[3]. This study explored wind energy to generate hydrogen power
for remote communities in Nunavut, where aging-diesel generators are the principal
source of electricity[4]. While the Nunavummiut people residing in these communities
are accustomed to limited accessibility during the winter, consistent access to reliable
and affordable energy is essential for survival.

A techno-economic model was developed for a wind-hydrogen coupled project for the
communities of Rankin Inlet, Iqaluit, Baker Lake, Whale Cove, and Sanikiluaq. These
communities were selected based on their daily electricity demand, proximity to water
and potential to produce energy from wind[5]. The calculated levelized cost of electricity
(LCOE) is between CAD $0.26 to $0.46/kWh, which in comparison to the current rate
of electricity[6] (CAD $0.59 to $0.91/kWh) in these communities is significantly lower
(Figure 1). Moreover, diesel-fired electricity rates have increased by 25% in the last
decade[7], and are expected to continue on this trend. Whereas wind-hydrogen rates
are expected to drop by about 60% (Figure 2)[8,9]. By comparing the current rate of
electricity with the future of electricity generated from hydrogen, it can be concluded
that wind-hydrogen projects are favourable.

Nunavut’s Independent Power Producer (IPP) program would support community-
owned large-scale renewable energy projects; however, this program is still in
development and the final details of the IPP program have not been released[10,11].
Based on a comparative analysis of existing IPP programs in Alaska and Canadian
jurisdictions, this study attempts to inform the Government of Nunavut of the approach
that should be taken to allow for the installation of a wind-hydrogen coupled project in
Nunavut communities.

Western Canadian LNG:
A Pathway to Global GHG Reduction and
Reconciliation

Deborah Esquivias1, Kienan Marion1, Pengfei Zhao2, Jose Rogelio Hernandez Borbon1,
Travis Brookson1.

Western Canada is positioned to play a critical role in exporting liquefied natural gas
(LNG) to Asian markets as world energy production transitions to lower-carbon
intensity fuels. We assess the feasibility of this role using a case study if Japan
replaces its electricity generation coal feedstock with western Canadian LNG, and
review the effect on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within Canada and globally.

The benefits of LNG must be balanced against socioeconomic, environmental, and
cultural costs to Indigenous peoples, who have historically been exploited by
Canadian resource development. To ensure mutual benefit from LNG developments
to the nearby Haisla Nation (Fig1) for instance, we identified impact mitigation
measures around Kitimat, British Columbia (B.C.)1,2,3.

Using available life-cycle assessments, we found that a Japan power generation
feedstock transition from coal to Canadian LNG could result in GHG emissions
reduction of up to 512 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt-
hour4,5,6,7,8 (Fig2). Total coal use phase-out in Japan could result in annual global net
GHG emissions reductions exceeding 130 MtCO2-eq.

However, LNG export can be viewed as incongruent with B.C.’s GHG reduction goals
as the entirety of the LNG Canada project will generate additional annual emissions
of 16 MtCO2-eq (~40% of B.C.’s 2030 emissions target)7,9. These emissions can be
reduced by up to 7.2 MtCO2-eq with project electrification and carbon capture and
storage in northeastern B.C.10,11. Decarbonizing other emission-intensive sectors
could also offset the new emissions created by LNG Canada. LNG Canada’s success
in policy and community relations can serve as a model for future western Canadian
LNG developments, allowing for the benefit of lower-carbon fuels to be shared locally
and globally.

By aligning policies and resources, our research shows that LNG could be a pathway
to economic reconciliation for Indigenous peoples while contributing to global climate
change mitigation.

           Figure 1. Map of Kitimat, B.C. showing the route and export facility of LNG Canada, as well as the
           communities surrounding the area, particularly the Kitimaat People of the upper Douglas Channel
           and the Kitlope People of the upper Princess Royal Channel and Gardner Canal that comprise the
           Haisla Nation12.

         Figure 2. To directly compare different sources of electricity, we consider both coal and LNG in terms
         of equivalent functional units [kg CO2-eq/MWh] of energy generated at a power plant. Getting the
         difference between the life-cycle emissions of coal and LNG, we estimate that global GHG emissions
         from Japanese power generation can be reduced by 405 kg CO2-eq/MWh by replacing coal feedstock
         with Canadian LNG4,5,6,7,8. This reduction can be as much as 512 kg CO2-eq/MWh if the maximum
         life-cycle emissions from coal are used. This figure is modified by authors.
