NAIT will launch a national clean fuels online awareness and education program thanks to a contribution from Natural Resources Canada.

A $300,000 grant will support the creation of a self-paced online training module and a series of webinars focused on increasing awareness of clean fuels and clean fuel technologies for academic, industry and government stakeholders. The online tools will also be available to members of the public. 

The education and awareness program builds upon previous work done by NAIT circular economy and clean technologies applied research. The polytechnic is home to several applied research centers that support the responsible development of clean energy opportunities. Each center provides services and expertise to help reduce, mitigate, or eliminate the negative impacts of energy industry activities. 

The three webinars will begin to roll out in September 2023 with the first aimed at increasing awareness of the variables that impact carbon intensity of fuels. Additional webinars will be focused on explaining how greenhouse gas calculations are performed and looking at clean fuel case studies that serve as real-world training opportunities. These will be available in December 2023 and March 2024 respectively. 

The online training module will equip learners with skills in greenhouse gas calculations, emissions measurement and life-cycle assessment, and will launch in the winter of 2024. 

Agatha Ojimelukwe is available for media interviews to talk about the clean fuels’ education and awareness program. Please contact NAIT media relations at media@nait.ca to arrange an interview.
