IRES & CERC seminar: Understanding Air Quality with Lower-cost Sensors: Technical and Community Considerations for Impactful Research
Abstract: Increasingly, lower-cost air pollution sensors are being used by academics, govern-ment agencies and community organizations to understand local patterns of air quality and the impacts of sources such as traffic and wildfires. Given that this research typically happens in community settings (e.g., campus or community as a ‘living lab’), there are a number of […]

Clean Energy Pathways and Strategies to Meet British Columbia’s Decarbonization Targets
A team of engineers at the University of British Columbia has found that British Columbia’s current plan to meet its Paris emissions reduction targets for 2030, as set out in CleanBC: Roadmap to 2030, will not be successful unless drastic changes are made to the way the province produces and uses clean and renewable energy.

Why carbon capture and storage is key to avoiding the worst effects of the climate emergency?
Naoko Ellis, Professor, UBC With the ongoing climate emergency and nations’ commitments to meet net-zero goals by 2050, there’s a heightened need to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions through whatever means possible. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) are included in the mitigation pathways set out by the Intergovernmental […]
CERC Research Seminar – October 2021 (Joint seminar with China-Canada bioenergy Centre)
Joint seminar with China-Canada bioenergy Centre Development of biomass pyrolysis polygeneration and pyrolysis product upgrading October 21, 2021 @ 4:00 PM Abstract As the only carbon contained renewable energy resources, the utilization of biomass is the key for the problem between energy and environment. Pyrolysis can convert biomass to gas fuel, liquid oil and solid […]
Opening of the New UBC bioenergy facility – the new Biorefining Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC)
Building on work conducted at UBC’s Clean Energy Research Centre (CERC) over the past 15 years, the new Biorefining Research and Innovation Centre (BRIC) will bring together top academic researchers and industry partners to create leading-edge technologies that could significantly reduce our reliance on carbon-intensive fossil fuels.
