Inertia in the North American Electricity Industry: Can the Kyoto Protocol Objectives Be Realistically Met?

If they are to be attained, the objectives set in the Kyoto Protocol will impose fundamental changes on the structure of North America's economy. This text highlights the extent of the Kyoto challenge by clearly describing the historical inertia in terms of total market shares for different production technologies of the North American electricity industry. It also compares two potential scenarios of the industry changes needed to attain the Kyoto objectives. The results obtained suggest that it will be virtually impossible to reach the Kyoto objectives within the electricity industry.Kyoto Protocol, Electricity Industry, Technological Change

L'inertie du changement dans l'industrie électrique en Amérique du Nord. Le respect du protocole de Kyoto est-il réaliste?

Les objectifs fixés par l'accord de Kyoto, s'ils seront respectés, imposent des changements fondamentaux dans la structure de l'économie nord-américaine. Ce texte met en évidence l'ampleur du défi de Kyoto en décrivant clairement l'inertie historique dans l'industrie électrique nord-américaine et en comparant deux scénarios potentiels d'évolution de l'industrie pour atteindre les objectifs de Kyoto. Nos résultats suggèrent que l'atteinte des objectifs de Kyoto dans le secteur électrique sera quasi impossible.Kyoto, Electric Utilities, Generation

Fiber-Optic Devices as Temperature Sensors for Temperature Measurements in AC Magnetic Fields

We report on the investigation of several fiber-optic devices as potential sensors for temperature measurements in AC magnetic fields. Common temperature sensors, such as thermocouples, thermistors or diodes, will create random and/or systematic errors when placed in a magnetic field. A DC magnetic field is susceptible to create a systematic offset to the measurement, while in an AC magnetic field of variable frequency random errors which cannot be corrected for can also be introduced. Fiber-Bragg-gratings and thin film filters have an inherent temperature dependence. Detrimental for their primary applications, the same dependence allows one to use such devices as temperature sensors. In an AC magnetic field, they present the advantage of being immune to electromagnetic interference. Moreover, for fiber-Bragg-gratings, the shape factor and small mass of the bare-fiber device make it convenient for temperature measurements on small samples. We studied several thin-film filters and fiber-Bragg-gratings and compared their temperature measurement capabilities in AC magnetic fields of 0 to 150 Gauss, 0 to 20 KHz to the results provided by off-the-shelf thermocouples and thermistor-based temperature measurement systems

Implications of the 2740 Ma Cote Gold Au(-Cu) deposit for Archean gold metallogeny and porphyry Au deposit formation in the Archean Swayze greenstone belt, northern Ontario

International audienceOre-deposit models, which are fundamental to mineral exploration, result from integrating robust field observations with high-quality mineral-chemical-isotopic data. New discoveries departing from current models demand explanation, and in some cases new deposit models result (e.g., IOCG). The recent (2009/2010) discovery of the Cote Gold Au(-Cu) deposit in the Archean Swayze greenstone belt, northern Ontario, challenges the age-restricted view of porphyry Cu-Au models. The +8 Moz Au deposit is hosted by a subvolcanic tonalite-diorite intrusive complex where magmatic-hydrothermal breccia bodies occur. Gold mineralization, of disseminated-, fracture-and vein-types, is spatially associated with hydrothermal biotite and muscovite alteration that is similar to potassic and phyllic alteration, respectively, in porphyry-type settings. A robust program involving core logging and field mapping with structural analysis integrated with detailed petrographic studies, geochronology, lithogeochemistry, isotopes, and fluid inclusion studies (microthermometry and evaporate mound SEM-EDS analysis) was used to assess the deposit's origin. That the age of host rocks (U-Pb zircon, titanite) and timing of alteration (U-Pb titanite) and mineralization (Re-Os molybdenite) centre on 2740 Ma and pre-dates the age of regional deformation (ca. 2680 Ma), in addition to the co-spatial nature of mineralization and alteration, suggests a magmatic-hydrothermal connection. Structural analysis of auriferous quartz veins also indicates a relationship to the intrusive centre versus regional deformation, which is further supported by a 2740 Ma molybdenite age for one such gold-mineralized vein. Fluid-chemical data indicates fluid mixing with ?34S (py, cpy, moly = 0 ± 1‰) and fluid inclusions (mixed H2O-CO2 fluid (XCO2=0.10); Na-K-CaFe -Mn-Cl-F-S chemistry) suggesting a magmatic fluid reservoir whereas ?18O (qtz = 7-12‰) also indicates a possible seawater contribution. These observations are best reconciled with a deposit model involving Au(-Cu) mineralization originating from exsolution of magmatic fluids from a high-level, hydrous intermediate magma in the same manner as models for younger porphyry analogues
