By 2015, 80 percent of the cleantech technologies used in Ontario are to be created in Ontario, for the benefit of our local/regional innovation-driven jobs, skills development and prosperity, and our environment. Most of this business-and-technology development is taking place within relatively new companies with 40 percent of that in the GTA, where Centennial College is located. Given the province's status as the largest (with Alberta) emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the country, Ontario's most aggressive green-policy plans to reduce GHGs focus on renewable energy: solar and wind; biofuels; and hydrogen fuel cells; among other emerging energy areas. Major programs under Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) are also boosting the cleantech economy countrywide. Under the NSERC-IE-funded program over five years, Centennial's proposed program, Building Regional R&D Capacity in Emerging Technologies for a Carbon-Constrained Economy, will focus strategically on renewable energy and partner Centennial College's Energy Institute (CEI) and the college's business and marketing divisions with local SMEs and corporations to accelerate our industry partners' innovations to market. CEI faculty members, with students in engineering systems, ICT and the environmental sciences, will work with regional, committed small -and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Projects range from demonstration, testing and analyses of hybrid-powered (wind and solar) grid-tied (and off-grid) municipal streetlighting; to testing/validating two methods for producing electricity from bio-hydrogen; to maximizing energy output, minimizing cost of solar thermal technologies to heat water and to heat & cool spaces. The CEI will support development of a major corporation's photovoltaics (PVs) business, through advancing effective automation processes for PV manufacturing, and reliability testing on the PV modules. Other projects include testing and demonstration for electric-vehicle charging stations, and development of bioenergy systems. The NSERC project series will also, therefore, train highly qualified personnel (HQP), the students at Centennial; and greatly increase the college's applied-research capacity in

到2015年，安大略使用的80%的清洁技术将在安大略创造，以造福于我们当地/区域创新驱动的就业机会、技能发展和繁荣以及我们的环境。大多数商业和技术发展都发生在相对较新的公司中，其中40%发生在GTA，Centennial College所在地。鉴于安大略省与阿尔伯塔省是全国最大的温室气体排放国，安大略最积极的减少温室气体的绿色政策计划集中在可再生能源：太阳能和风能;生物燃料;氢燃料电池;以及其他新兴能源领域。加拿大可持续发展技术（SDTC）下的主要项目也在全国范围内推动清洁技术经济。根据NSERC-IE资助的五年计划，百年的拟议计划，建立区域研发能力，在新兴技术的碳约束经济，将战略重点放在可再生能源和合作伙伴百年学院的能源研究所（CEI）和学院的业务和营销部门与当地中小企业和公司，以加快我们的行业合作伙伴的创新推向市场。CEI的教职员工，与工程系统，信息通信技术和环境科学的学生，将与区域，致力于中小型企业（中小企业）。项目范围从混合动力（风能和太阳能）并网（和离网）市政路灯的演示，测试和分析;到测试/验证两种从生物氢发电的方法;最大限度地提高能源输出，最大限度地降低太阳能热技术的成本，以加热水和加热和冷却空间。CEI将通过推进光伏制造的有效自动化流程和光伏组件的可靠性测试，支持一家大型公司的光伏（PV）业务的发展。其他项目包括电动汽车充电站的测试和示范，以及生物能源系统的开发。因此，NSERC项目系列也将培养高素质人才（HQP），即百年纪念大学的学生;并大大提高学院的应用研究能力，
