本稿は、カナダの再生可能エネルギー電力を活用し、アルミニウムや鉄などの循環金属燃料を生産することで、再生可能エネルギーの間欠性と流通課題を解決し、クリーンエネルギーの戦略的備蓄・国際取引を可能にするエネルギー転換を提唱する。炭化水素燃料システムへの継続投資は非効率的であり、カナダは再生可能電力の世界的リーダーとなる可能性がある。
English
This paper argues for transitioning Canada's energy system to circular metal fuels (aluminum, iron) produced from renewable power. These fuels solve intermittency and distribution challenges, enabling strategic stockpiling and global trade of clean energy. It criticizes continued hydrocarbon investment and highlights Canada's potential to lead in renewable energy export.

📄 Abstract（原文）
A transition to an energy system that capitalizes on Canada's renewable energy potential is the safe, resilient, and secure way forward. The returns on investment of a continued adherence to a hydrocarbon fuel system are diminishing and the benefits to the Canadian economy are overstated. New investments in old technologies, even under the presumption that such infrastructure can support emerging hydrogen technology, is not prudent. Investment in circular fuel technology is needed. Circular fuels, produced using renewable power and their own by-product as a feedstock, address the key bottleneck in the development of renewable power: intermittency and distribution. Using electricity to produce fuels, such as aluminum and iron, provides a mechanism whereby clean energy can be strategically stockpiled and/or distributed around the world, enabling Canada to establish itself as a leader in the global trade of renewable power.
