Abstract:
Energy needs of remote regions
Communities
• ~50 % of energy consumed is for space and water heating
• Single diesel furnaces provide heating to each building
• 0.16 $/kWh thermal for subsidized diesel at 1.4 $/L
Mines
• Heating of underground workings can be required
• Fossil fuels are mainly used to produce heating
• 0.06-0.29 $ heating per ton extracted (MERN, 2016)
