672- Greenhouse Gas Impacts of Enhanced Recycling Program Projects, Natural Resources Canada, (2006)
For Natural Resources Canada, estimated the GHG Impacts of 36 Enhanced Recycling Projects, and facilitated a 2-day workshop in February, 2006 in Ottawa with representatives from across Canada to elicit opinion on options for the future of the program.
655- Use of Forest Biomass To Produce Energy, Friends of the Earth, Canada (2005)
Researched and prepared a paper on the amount of forest biomass produced in Canada and how it is currently used to produce energy. Identified technical barriers to increased use of forest biomass, and technologies currently available or being researched (gasification, pyrolysis, black liquor gasification) to increase forest biomass utilization and make the Canadian pulp and paper industry a net energy exporter
652- Preparation of London Hydro Business Plan To Recover Refrigerators, Air Conditioners and Freezers as Part of Their DSM Strategy, Clean Air Foundation (2005)
Prepared details of collection, recovery and processing of refrigerators, air conditioners and freezers as part of London Hydro’s business plan to reduce demand on the electrical system. Reviewed other appliance recovery systems in North America, Europe and Asia, and state of the art processing technologies.
650- Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Anaerobic Digestion of Green Waste (2005)
Carried out a comprehensive study of anaerobic digestion systems in Europe, Asia and North America. Identified AD technologies to process garden waste and other sources of biomass to produce biogas and green energy.
633- Canadian Energy Efficiency Alliance – Business Plan for Ontario Component of a National Fleet Challenge (2004)
As part of a national team, developed the Business Plan for the Ontario component of a National Fleet Challenge project, which received 3 years of funding from Natural Resources Canada. Addressed all large fleets in Ontario (provincial, municipal and private sector) and assessed potential for GHG reduction through a range of measures (technology changes, fuel switching, increased use of biofuels, etc)
629- Facilitation of Federal/Provincial/Territorial Working Group Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Workshop, Natural Resources Canada (Nov 2003)
Designed the agenda, facilitated a 2-day working group session with a cross-Canada team and wrote a project report summarizing the findings of the workshop. Identified next steps to develop a national climate change impacts and adaptation framework for Canada.
400- “Count Me In” Climate Change Social Marketing Program – Natural Resources Canada
Managed an educational and outreach workshop and training program about climate change which was delivered to employees at their place of work. One and two hour training sessions were designed and delivered in work settings across Canada. Various social marketing techniques (pledges, etc) were used to confirm commitments by participants to reduce greenhouse gases. A web-based reporting method was developed for follow-up and measurement of actual compared to pledged climate change reduction actions. The study evaluated the impacts of various social marketing techniques.
400- Greenhouse Gas Impacts of Waste Management, Environment Canada (2000 and 2002) as input to a GHG emission factor model.
In 2000, involved in the ICF/TSA team, which developed emission factors for waste management in Canada. Responsible for the anaerobic digestion module. In 2002, estimated the greenhouse gas impacts of achieving 50% and 70% waste diversion Canada-wide as input to government of Canada’s national strategy.
400- Organic Waste Management Strategy and Achievement of 50% Greenhouse Gas Reduction, Toronto Atmospheric Fund, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Developed a research agenda for how the City of Toronto should address organic waste diversion from disposal to contribute to a 20% CO2 reduction goal.
400- Waste Management Strategy, National Energy Policy of Thailand
Carried out analysis of options for managing waste for Thailand, with a population of 60 million, to maximize energy recovery and contribute to the national energy balance. Presented a range of options for moving forward, with economic, energy, training and waste diversion implications of each.
400- The Links Between Public Policy, Public Awareness and Social Change – Lessons for Development of Climate Change Policy in Canada, for Public Education and Outreach Table of Canadian National Climate Change Strategy Development Process
Author of paper “Public Policy, Public Awareness and Social Change”, an analysis of the interaction of these three factors for eight public policy issues (acid rain, BC forests, Canada Pension Plan, smoking and teenagers in Florida and Quebec, Participaction) to identify lessons learned which could be applied to climate change.
