Natural Resources Canada has the sole authority to administer the ENERGY STAR for Industry program in Canada, via an administrative arrangement with its creator, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In alignment with the U.S. program, Canada's program will encourage companies to make improvements in energy performance beyond defined thresholds; it will recognize the achievements of industrial innovators; and will facilitate the sharing of best practices. ENERGY STAR for Industry includes two different components: ENERGY STAR Certification and ENERGY STAR Challenge. Through ENERGY STAR Certification program, manufacturing plants must achieve an ENERGY STAR score of 75 or higher using an industry-specific ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator (EPI - benchmarking tools for industrial plant). NRCan works with EPA to determine joint EPIs that measure a plant’s energy performance and compare it to that of similar plants in Canada and the U.S., generating an ENERGY STAR score on a scale of 1 to 100. ENERGY STAR Certification is now available to to seven industral sectors in Canada: integrated steel, commercial baking, automotive assembly, automotive engines, automotive transmissions, cement, and frozen fried potatoes. Through ENERGY STAR Challenge, industrial plants that participate in the challenge and succeed in reducing their energy intensity by 10% , will earn NRCan recognition.

Energy Security, Not Climate Goals, Is Now Driving the Clean Power Boom

While ships are beginning to trickle through the Strait of Hormuz after months of near-total closure, it will be a very long time before the effects of this year’s energy crisis fade from the global economy – if they ever do. This latest round of turmoil in global oil and gas markets has catalyzed clean energy adoption to a degree that may permanently alter the global energy landscape, as well as the way that we conceive of energy security and geopolitical strategy. It is extremely telling that, against the backdrop of the United States…

Iraq Is Keeping Its Syria Oil Route—Even If Hormuz Reopens

Nobody, especially not Iraq, wants to be caught relying on Hormuz ever again. Iraq is preparing to export crude oil and naphtha through Syria's Mediterranean port of Baniyas, expanding an emergency workaround that emerged after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted the country's primary export routes and left storage tanks filling up. According to Reuters, Iraqi officials say the strategy will remain in place even after shipping through Hormuz returns to normal. That alone says plenty. Iraq normally exports around 3.6 million barrels of…

China Is Taking Its AI Boom Under the Sea

The data centre industry has taken off in the last few years, as tech companies look to develop the massive computing power needed to run complex operations, such as artificial intelligence. Thousands of data centres are being developed on land, but now, some countries are looking to establish innovative models in alternative locations, such as underwater. In May, China launched the world’s first wind-powered underwater data centre off the coast of Shanghai, with an investment of around $238 million. The 24 MW-capacity Shanghai Lingang undersea…

Why Small Modular Reactors Are Becoming a National Security Priority

For decades, energy policy in Washington was debated on the basis of economics, climate change, and domestic politics. That era is over. The United States is entering a period where energy security must be recognized as a core pillar of national security and military readiness. The global competition underway with China is not just about trade or tariffs. It is about industrial capacity, technological dominance, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductor manufacturing, and defense production - all of which depend on a foundational requirement:…
