The Saskatchewan government has entered into a co-operation agreement with one of the leading energy research laboratories in the United States.
Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd and Enterprise and Innovation Minister Lyle Stewart today signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the government and Idaho National Laboratory (INL), a U.S. Department of Energy institution that is considered that country's top national laboratory for nuclear energy research.
The MOU provides a mechanism for the government and INL to consider research and demonstration projects on a variety of energy sources and resources, including uranium, nuclear energy, heavy oil, oil shale and oil sands. The agreement also provides for potential collaboration on carbon dioxide capture and storage projects.
"Saskatchewan has a diversity of energy resources few other places in the world can match, and also has a solid, acclaimed record on energy research," Boyd said. "As we expand that research and move into other areas of value-added energy development, it just makes good sense to form partnerships with energy research leaders like INL and benefit from their expertise and analysis."
INL's research interests also focus on hybrid energy systems that can combine nuclear, fossil and renewable energy sources, including biomass, wind, hydro and geothermal. INL also has extensive environmental research capabilities and conducts cutting-edge testing of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles for the U.S. Department of Energy.
"This Memorandum of Understanding with Saskatchewan is very important to Idaho National Laboratory because it expands our collaborative relationships on western regional energy interests and concerns," INL's Associate Laboratory Director for Energy and Environment J.W. "Bill" Rogers, Jr. said. "This agreement also permits us to contribute independent validation of technologies and approaches to advance energy development for Saskatchewan."
"Our government is committed to advancing an innovation agenda for Saskatchewan, and this linkage with INL supports that commitment," Stewart said. "The exchange of ideas and expertise between INL and our research facilities will foster new approaches and advances in energy development."
Established in 1949, Idaho National Laboratory has 3,800 staff in a number of complexes and testing facilities in southeastern Idaho. It is operated for the U.S. Department of Energy by Battele Energy Alliance, a consortium of research institutes and universities.
