Building Regional R&D Capacity in Emerging Technologies for a Carbon-Constrained Economy

到2015年，安大略省使用的80%的清洁技术将在安大略省创造，这将有利于我们当地/区域的创新驱动型就业、技能发展和繁荣，以及我们的环境。这些商业和技术的发展大多发生在相对较新的公司内部，其中40%发生在百年纪念学院所在的大多伦多地区。考虑到该省是全国最大的温室气体（GHGs）排放国（与艾伯塔省并列），安大略省最积极的减少温室气体的绿色政策计划将重点放在可再生能源上：太阳能和风能；生物燃料;氢燃料电池；在其他新兴能源领域。加拿大可持续发展技术（SDTC）的主要项目也在全国范围内推动清洁技术经济。在nserc - ie资助的为期五年的项目中，百年纪念大学提出的项目“为碳限制经济建立新兴技术的区域研发能力”将战略性地关注可再生能源，并与百年纪念学院的能源研究所（CEI）、学院的商业和营销部门以及当地的中小企业和公司合作，加速我们的行业合作伙伴的创新推向市场。CEI的教职员工将与工程系统、信息通信技术和环境科学专业的学生一起，与区域性的中小型企业（SMEs）合作。项目范围从示范、测试和分析混合动力（风能和太阳能）并网（和离网）市政路灯；测试/验证两种利用生物氢发电的方法；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模块的可靠性测试，支持大型企业光伏业务的发展。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Centennial的学生；大大提高了学院的应用研究能力

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
