Comparative Analysis of “Fuels”

  • Total variable costs of the

delivered fuel included, (utility-delivered fuels have many components)

  • The costs are BC average

prices (2014) and include delivery charges where applicable.

Greenhouse Gasses per gigajoule

  • Aside from coal, oil-

based fuels like gasoline, diesel, and heating oil are the most GHG- intensive per unit

  • f energy.
  • In BC, electricity is

nearly GHG-free

Per-Capita Emissions by Community within NCLGA

  • Each community has its own starting point for energy and emissions, and its own

specific opportunities

  • There are also some opportunities that are best pursued regionally

Energy is Money

  • Over $ 1 Billion annually spent on energy, mostly on residential and commercial

transportation

  • Does not include

large industry

NCLGA Context NCLGA Capitol RD

POP: 330,000 POP: 330,000 AREA: 650,000 sq km AREA: 696 sq km

The rural and dispersed nature of the population in the North demands solutions that are innovative, collaborative and reflective of the local challenges and

  • pportunities.

Strategies for addressing buildings, waste, and transportation at the community scale

  • Tools for policy, regulation, practice, infrastructure and incentive exist for all areas

below.

  • Some are stronger (organics diversion, district energy service areas) and some

have a lighter influence (sustainability checklists, marketing, ‘encouraging’)

EV Role in Transportation

  • Electric Vehicles can be one part of an integrated plan for transportation

4 Fuel 3 Vehicle Efficiency 2 Mode Shift 1 Trip Distance Reduction Fuel - Electrify what is left of the passenger fleet and / or biofuels, biofuels and natural gas for the heavy-duty fleet

4 3 2

Mode Shift - Shift remaining kilometers travelled to cycling, walking, public transit, ride-sharing and out of the single-occupant vehicle Trip Distance Reduction - Reduce need for vehicle travel through urban form and transportation demand management

1

Vehicle Efficiency - Reduce size of vehicles and improve engine efficiency, right-size vehicles to the need, minimize the tonnes of steel being moved to move a person

Big Opportunities for the NCLGA

  • Buildings
  • Sign on to stretch code in 2017 for new buildings in a consistent way across the region
  • Require Energuide rating for major renovations
  • Utility program for low income renovations
  • Biomass and heat pumps
  • Transportation
  • Electric Vehicles (plug-in hybrid and battery-electric) charging network
  • Ongoing transit improvements
  • Waste
  • Organics diversion
  • Organization
  • Shared Community Energy Manager(s)

Climate Action

  • Moving a community towards
  • Reduced emissions
  • Increased independence
  • Increased walkability, livability, and ability to age in place
  • Increased local economic development
  • Is not a one term of office issue.
  • Plan -> then long-term program with regular refreshes
  • Many policy / land-use decisions require a decade or more to play out and require

consistent policy direction

Community Energy and Emissions Plans Research Findings:

Correlations with Implementation Success

  • What is Correlated:
  • Buy-in – getting staff and elected official support
  • Tracking / monitoring of actions has a strong correlation with

success

  • What is NOT Correlated
  • Stakeholder engagement does NOT show a strong correlation to

success, however broad support in staff & politicians does. This perhaps points to several approaches to achieving support

  • Quality of CEEP is not strongly correlated with implementation

success, although it does appear to help to have a minimum standard of CEEP. Quality of CEEP is not correlated with size or geographic location
