In this short video, I describe how our research team is using Life Cycle Analysis to identify the inputs and outputs required for some of the cool reclamation technologies Future Energy Systems research labs are studying. With this information, we will be able to compare the inputs and outputs of each technology. We hope to use this information to get a fuller picture of environmental impacts of the manufacturing process identify which technologies are best suited for commercialization.
Maggie Cascadden is a PhD Candidate in Professor Dev Jennings' group in the Faculty of Business. The research falls under the category: Monitoring, management, and mitigation. You can learn more at [ Ссылка ].

Future Energy Systems is a $75 million research program at the University of Alberta, funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. More than 130 researchers, 600 graduate students, post docs and other highly qualified personnel in nine faculties are studying the energy transition in over 90 different projects. Our researchers seek to develop energy technologies of the future, improve today’s energy technologies, and understand the transition between the two. We are also studying the effects of energy transition on society, the economy, and the environment.
Broadly speaking, we can simplify this complex system into four broad categories:
-Energy generation, harvesting, and production
-Transport, storage, and access
-Use, impact, and regulation
-Monitoring, management, and mitigation
Through our Energy in a Flash Lightning Research Speaker Series, we will explore all four of these categories, and see how broad and diverse our energy systems truly are.
