| | First utility-scale hybrid solar and wind power site in Saskatchewan unveiled | | The Cowessess Energy Storage Facility is a high-level wind turbine and energy storage project paving the way for applied research into renewable energy generation.
Recently, over 1,000 solar panels were added to the system and the facility now produces almost 3,000 MWh of energy per year, enough to supply power to 344 homes. | | Getting more value from brines: tech improvements reduce costs, increase recoveries for lithium | | | The demand for lithium is projected to increase 73 per cent by 2025. Lithium recovery from brines is often expensive and time consuming, so how can mining companies keep up with this fast-rising demand? | | | The Gunnar Mine operated from 1955-1963 and officially closed in 1964 with little to no decommissioning. In 1956, it was considered to be the largest uranium producer in the world.
In this two-part series, learn about the site construction, the operational challenges and the town site that was built, as well as what happened after the mine closed and what’s being done to remediate the land. | | | Every ecosystem on the planet is affected by human activity. Soil scientists have even proposed a new type of soil based on the wide-spread effects of human impacts: Anthroposols.
A research scientist at SRC is studying possible measures to see if Anthroposols can supply enough nutrients to Canada's boreal forest to keep its ecosystems in good health. | | SRC recently received ISO 9001:2015 certification. This certification demonstrates our long-term commitment to delivering the highest levels of quality and world-class client services.
ISO 9001:2015 is the world's most widely recognized standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). | | | |
