Projects
Startup Emission Savings
Estimating greenhouse gas emission savings for startups in voluntary carbon markets is challenging due to uncertainties and barriers. Despite initial potential, the startup discussed here went out of business, resulting in zero emissions savings, highlighting the risks faced in the climate tech space.
Machine learning-inspired energy system optimization
This blog post demonstrates how gradient descent can be used to optimize energy systems, specifically focusing on minimizing the cost of hydrogen production using a Python-based model.
Off-Grid Power
This trailer supplies 100 W of power year-round in the harsh climate of the Canadian prairies using a wind, solar, battery system.
Geothermal Resources in Canada
Why do we have so little geothermal electricity generation in Canada?
