Evaluating Feasible Pathways for FortisBC Decarbonization
Industrial Ecology analysis for decarbonizing BC's energy sector with a focus on policy, economic, and technological implementations to reduce carbon emissions by 2030 while minimizing risks. Methodologies include Industrial Symbiosis, Decision Models, and Scenario Setup & Evaluation. Team members led by Andrew Rowe are working on this project.

Research Question What combination of implementations (policy, economic, technological, etc.) can achieve feasible carbon reductions by 2030 while minimizing risk? Evaluating feasible pathways for FortisBC to decarbonize the BC energy sector using analytic tools and the lenses of Industrial Ecology 3/12/2025 3
Methodology Industrial Symbiosis (Literature) Designing the material/energy flow between industries & technologies from the perspective of systems engineering to increase synergy Sector coupling: Gas, Heat, Electricity, Transport (GHET) (Shirizadeh, 2020) (Robinius, Otto, Heuser, et al., 2017) Policy Analysis Are they realistic? CleanBC Roadmap to 2030 Canada s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan What is reasonable? Decision Model (Literature) Defining success Examples: CO2 budget, risk mitigation, LCOE, etc. (Simon et al., 2022) Decision Model Industrial Symbiosis Objective Evaluating Decarbonization Pathways Scenario Setup & Evaluation (Modelling Literature / Policy) Scenario definition OSeMOSYS Analysis Sensitivity (Park et al., 2013) Trade-off (De La Pe a et al., 2022) Scenario Setup & Evaluation Policy Analysis Evaluating feasible pathways for FortisBC to decarbonize the BC energy sector using analytic tools and the lenses of Industrial Ecology 3/12/2025 4
