ENERGY: Ways to reduce your costs
Research Initiatives
Biomass Research
Several biomass initiatives are in development with the potential to consider pellet technology, Yukon-sourced woodchips and both stand-alone and district heating projects. The Energy Solutions Centre has information on the use of this carbon-neutral energy source.
Geothermal Energy
Earth's interior contains heat energy that yields warmth and power we can use with limited environmental impact. A variety of studies have sought to identify Yukon’s geothermal potential.
Air Source Heat Pump Evaluation
A one year study is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of air source heat pump technology in Yukon conditions.
Yukon Renewable Energy Resource Map
This map shows wind, hydro and geothermal data at study locations around the Yukon. The data is compiled from several sources and data collection methods varied based on the data source.
