Grant: College and Community Innovation Program
Fanshawe College of Applied Arts & Technology
$400,000.00
Centre for Sustainable Energy and Environments
FY 2012-13
Summary
The Centre for Sustainable Energy and Environments (CSEE) consists of a program of applied research aimed at the optimization, adoption and integration of renewable energy technologies and waste recycling strategies into Ontario life. Seven multi-disciplinary projects have initially been identified, and the Centre will foster additional partnerships with the private sector, municipalities and community organizations to advance a renewable energy and conservation culture and help the Canadian and Ontario governments meet their goals of increased renewal energy development, conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Projects also will, where feasible, involve students so that more highly qualified personnel can be developed for the labour force and to address current or impending skills shortages in business and industry.
CSEE objectives are: to explore new, innovative and expanded technologies for renewable energy and/or find new uses for alternative sources (solar, wind and organic waste); build capacity at Fanshawe College for applied research and innovation in these fields, further grow an innovation culture at the College and increase support for business and industry to support regional economic development; increase interaction with business and industry via the continuous entry of new partners with new projects; include students in projects in order to increase the number of highly qualified, skilled and knowledgeable graduates available to the Canadian, Ontario and regional labour forces; adapt the resulting technologies for application to built environments, horticulture, community living environments, agribusiness, transportation and power generation through a
program of investigations to prove concepts, validate results and demonstrate viability; optimize technologies/processes to improve renewable energy management and efficiency; develop technologies that are user-friendly to lead to greater use of alternatives by government, business, and the public; and commercialize these new technologies/processes wherever feasible.
