Energy storage is a critical element in expanding renewable energy. It helps balance electricity supply and demand, provide grid services such as frequency regulation, and improve power quality. Lithium-ion batteries dominate the utility-scale energy storage market, although other forms such as pumped hydro, flywheels, compressed air systems and superconducting magnets exist as alternatives. Galooli’s remote…

Urban mobility is a critical issue that impacts city dwellers’ lives in numerous ways. From commute times and pollution levels, to safety issues and safety threats, mobility plays an integral role in all aspects of life in cities. Successful urban mobility strategies must encompass multiple key dimensions, such as modal integration, congestion efficiency and emissions…

Land use planning involves the arranging and development of land. It includes designing buildings, infrastructure and landscapes which support sustainable communities. Land use planning is essential to creating and maintaining a healthy environment. Without it, communities would become disorganized, transportation would fail and industrial plants may pollute homes and the natural world. Economic Development Land…

Zoning regulations govern how cities, towns and villages grow in an orderly and responsible fashion. They cover everything from how tall buildings can be constructed to which types of businesses may open in certain areas. They include standards such as height restrictions, setback requirements and floor area ratio to define what can and cannot be…

Digital governance refers to the framework of people, policies and standards which guide our public digital properties such as websites, e-communications tools and social media. Failing to create a governance framework will lead teams to work in isolation and duplicative efforts while missing opportunities to be more strategic and efficient, increasing risks to an agency…

Community engagement refers to giving communities the power to shape projects and decisions that impact them through collaborative processes, transparent reporting and other best practices. An effective community engagement process includes gathering feedback and making necessary modifications accordingly, particularly to achieve inclusiveness and social equity. Empowering communities Community engagement allows communities to set a vision…

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) reduces greenhouse gases by collecting them at factories or fossil fuel-burning power plants and transporting it to sites where its benefits can be utilized or stored permanently underground in porous rock formations. Injection sites tend to be depleted oil and gas fields or deep saline aquifers. Basalt formations also have…

Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero tailpipe emissions, significantly reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, their lower maintenance and fuel costs make them cheaper to run – not to mention quieter and offering instant torque! Electric vehicle (EV) drivers can save money on their energy bills by charging overnight when electricity demand is at…

Energy policy provides the foundation for an eco-friendly and efficient energy sector. Different nations take different approaches when adopting their national energy policies based on national interests and goals such as decarbonization, system reliability, resource diversification, technology export potential or electricity access. Consumers must be enabled to benefit from low carbon technologies without incurring unnecessary…

To reverse climate change, we must close off all gaps through mitigation and adaptation measures. Mitigation actions include using new technologies and renewable energies, upgrading older equipment more efficiently, changing consumer behavior and protecting natural areas that act as carbon sinks like forests, wetlands and grasslands. Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions One of the primary strategies…
