GHG Reduction Pathway Feasibility Study

The Township of Red Rock in the Thunder Bay District, through the support of FCM’s Green Municipal Fund, received funding for a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Pathway Feasibility Study. The study included the technical and financial feasibility of implementing deep greenhouse gas emissions reductions for six community buildings – the Marina Interpretive Centre, the Municipal Office/Library, the Public Works Building/ Firehall, the Recreation Centre, Water Pollution Control Plant, and Water Treatment Plant.

The study provides a GHG reduction pathway that will reduce emissions by at least 50% within 10 years and at least 80% within 20 years to align with federal and provincial goals. Additionally, the study explored a short-term deep retrofit scenario which outlines a plan to reduce GHG emissions by 80% over a 5-year timeline. The project team also prepared an energy audit (Level 2/3), building condition assessment (BCA), and an electric vehicle (EV) assessment for each of the buildings included in the study. The data collected as part of this study was also used to update the Township of Red Rock Energy Conservation and Demand Managment Plan.
