The six projects address issues critical to Ontario's ener- gy sustainability, including the demand for solar power as a viable, cost-effective alternative energy source, the need for sys- tems and programs to help pea ple manage their energy con- sumption and the ability to access clean energy alterna- lives. Clean energy projects get $28 million These innovative made-in- Ontario technologies will bene- rn consumers, institutions and industry alike by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. delivering economic returns and putting Ontario on the forefront of clean energy pro- duction, distribution and con- sumption. The announcement of $l3 million from Ontario Centres of Excellence Inc. and $15 million from industry will be shared among the six projects involv- ing breakthrough technologies in solar, hydrogen and energy conservation and demand management. This unique collaborative effort brings together industry leaders with academic experts from universities across the province, fostering world-class research in clean energy options, and is supported by 100 undergraduate to PhD researchers.

"The projects unveiled today promise to reshape the way Ontarians use and think about energy." "Today's investment builds on the considerable talent of our world-class researchers to ensure Ontario maintains lead- ership in growing sectors and consistently turns global chal- lenges -_ such as climate change and environmental sus- tainability - into opportunities for Ontario," said Wilkinson. "These projects represent the strong partnerships among our top researchers, global business leaders and government that will provide Ontarians with a cleaner environment, a higher quality of life and more oppor~ tunities for success." "Ontario has the skills, talent and technology to address many clean energy challenges - from generation to con- sumption, in both the short and long-term - not only across the province, but on a world- wide scale as well," said McFad- den. "To ensure these chal- lenges are met, OCE is commit- ted to connecting industry with academia to help bring cutting- edge research out of the labora- tory and into the marketplace." In selecting the projects,. OCE first engaged a wide range of Ontario's energy sector lead- ers to clearly identify gaps and market needs before calling for project proposals. - The bveMelming response of more than 100 expressions of interest reflects the province's Meet rcpmcntatlvea. receive free brochum and enjoy nhlblu from Accreditad Camp. ln the Ontario Camping Aoaocladon.

Local projects include the Energy Hub Management Sys- tem, developed in partnership with the University of Waterloo. which will enable Ontario homeowners and businesses to take ownership of their energy needs, while reducing costs and the impact on the energy grid. Another will look at high- capacity fuel cell to help meet commercial demand for power. Kingston-based Acumentrics will partner with UW and others to demonstrate an innovative fuel cell system that provides low-cost. efficient, environment tally-friendly power and heating all in one package. Local company ARISE Tech- nologies will also partner with McMaster University for the development of the next-gener- ation of solar material to boost solar production. The University of Waterloo will also lead two projects look- ing at decreasing diesel dependency in remote northern communities and connecting solar farms to the grid. The effort to reduce diesel dependency in remote North- ern Ontario communities fea- tures a partnership that aims to develop a low-carbon commu- nity energy system that com- bines wind turbines specifically designed for extreme northern climates.
