Energy storage can help meet demand-supply imbalances while simultaneously supporting renewable wind and solar technologies into systems previously dependent on fossil fuels. Batteries are one of the most scalable energy storage technologies. Just like those found in cell phones, utility-scale battery energy storage systems are capable of storing electricity until necessary, then discharging it when…

Urban mobility refers to the movement of passengers and goods within cities using various modes of transportation such as trains, buses and private cars. Use of these modes can help alleviate traffic congestion and air pollution while simultaneously improving safety and increasing economic efficiency. Modes of transportation Urban mobility encompasses a range of transportation modes,…

Land use planning encompasses many facets of human development. According to the Canadian Institute of Planners, land use planning involves scientific and aesthetic arrangements for land, resources, facilities and services in order to ensure the physical, economic, social, health and well-being of urban and rural communities. Residential, commercial and industrial land uses should be located…

Zoning regulations govern how land can be developed; however, these laws don’t reflect its actual use. Residential zoning laws usually regulate building size and density as well as parking and green space requirements, yet restrictive zoning hurts communities by making it harder for people to find housing that meets their individual needs and interests. Residential…

Digital governance aims to meet new responsibilities and expectations brought on by digital technologies, while aiding public organisations maintain transparency and accountability. As part of your digital presence, it’s crucial that someone assume ownership for each element, delegating tasks but being accountable for tracking progress. This individual should act as the “owner” for maintaining it…

Community engagement refers to an array of activities, ranging from voting to interaction between members of the public and businesses. To successfully engage the community, it is necessary to understand its needs, interests and diversity. Doing so will enable you to tailor engagement strategies accordingly and provide various channels for participation so all stakeholders can…

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology works alongside natural carbon sinks by extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and permanently storing them underground. CCS technology can be implemented both at fossil fuel power plants as well as industrial processes. CO2 gas can be injected into porous geologic formations, such as depleted oil and natural gas…

Electric vehicles are an ideal way to reduce carbon emissions and save on fuel costs while offering an enjoyable driving experience with quieter ride quality and are suitable for city traffic conditions. Electric vehicles (EVs) can be found at multiple price points and buyers are eligible for incentives like federal tax credits, state rebates, electricity…

Energy policy affects how societies produce and use energy. It shapes decisions regarding investments in renewable sources of power as well as strategies to decrease fossil fuel dependence. Policies may include financial incentives like loan guarantees and production tax credits, while also imposing costs related to greenhouse gas emissions through carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems.…

Mitigation acts like plugging a leak in a boat – slowing or stopping the flow of greenhouse gases into Earth’s atmosphere by decreasing emissions sources or expanding sinks that capture them. Mitigation strategies include transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency and adopting regenerative agricultural practices, as well as strengthening communities’ resilience to climate…
