Alberta Grid Decarbonization: Emissions Intensity

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Carbon emissions debates and Alberta-specific energy discussions identified Alberta's grid emissions intensity as a key lever. Alberta grid renewable share is currently 15% — debates on renewable transition call for acceleration. Provincial emissions reduction complements federal climate targets. Chain: alberta_renewable_investment -> alberta_grid_emissions_intensity (-0.15, d8), grid_decarbonization -> provincial_emissions_alberta (-0.10, d12).

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 71). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
