Energy Innovations for Today and Tomorrow is the University of Calgary's institutional strategy for energy research. Created by the combined effort of over 220 faculty members drawn from across our entire institution and launched in 2013, our Energy Research Strategy addresses some of the most complex problems facing society in the energy field. Its central vision is delivering safe, clean, secure energy supplies for the world. By 2040, with the global population reaching 9 billion people and even with the anticipated decrease in per capita energy use, world energy demand will be 1.5 times greater than in 2012. Meeting this demand is a daunting problem if future generations are to enjoy sustained prosperity with minimal environmental impacts, including significant reductions in carbon emissions. Through the implementation of the Energy Research Strategy, we are taking a leadership role in developing and sharing the next great energy innovations that the world so urgently needs. It identifies four grand challenges of global significance where we have the combined research and training capacity to deliver world-class solutions. These grand challenges address major global issues surrounding unconventional hydrocarbon resources, hydraulic fracturing, towards low carbon energy, and cumulative effects of energy-related processes. Located in the capital of Canada's fossil fuel industry, our institution benefits from collaborative research opportunities with energy companies, decision-makers and technology users. This enables us to create and deploy rapidly new advances in the responsible extraction of Canada's precious resources and to be one of the few world-leaders in high-impact energy research.

今天和明天的能源创新是卡尔加里大学能源研究的机构战略。由来自我们整个机构的220多名教师的共同努力创建，并于2013年启动，我们的能源研究战略解决了能源领域社会面临的一些最复杂的问题。其核心愿景是为世界提供安全，清洁，可靠的能源供应。到2040年，全球人口将达到90亿，即使人均能源使用量预计会下降，世界能源需求仍将是2012年的1.5倍。如果要使子孙后代享有持续的繁荣，同时尽量减少对环境的影响，包括大幅减少碳排放，满足这一需求是一个艰巨的问题。通过能源研究战略的实施，我们在开发和分享世界迫切需要的下一个伟大的能源创新方面发挥领导作用。它确定了四个具有全球意义的重大挑战，我们拥有综合研究和培训能力，以提供世界一流的解决方案。这些重大挑战解决了围绕非常规碳氢化合物资源、水力压裂、低碳能源以及能源相关过程的累积效应的重大全球问题。我们的机构位于加拿大化石燃料工业的首都，受益于与能源公司、决策者和技术用户的合作研究机会。这使我们能够在加拿大宝贵资源的负责任开采方面迅速创造和部署新的进展，并成为少数几个高影响力能源研究的世界领导者之一。
