WIAS Visiting Researcher Seminar:
“Discursive Ecologies: Circular energy planning for accelerating community energy transformation” (11/4)
Abstract
This talk explores circular energy planning as a pathway to integrate industrial waste heat into community energy systems in Northern British Columbia, advancing both decarbonization and regional sustainability. Drawing on principles of the circular economy and industrial symbiosis, the seminar examines how by-products from forestry, mining, and agri-food industries can be repurposed for district heating, electricity generation, and other productive uses. A preliminary result from a case in British Columbia, Canada will highlight the technical, economic, and policy opportunities for aligning industrial, municipal, and Indigenous interests in regional energy planning.
