Natural Resources Canada has the sole authority to administer the ENERGY STAR for Industry program in Canada, via an administrative arrangement with its creator, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In alignment with the U.S. program, Canada's program will encourage companies to make improvements in energy performance beyond defined thresholds; it will recognize the achievements of industrial innovators; and will facilitate the sharing of best practices. ENERGY STAR for Industry includes two different components: ENERGY STAR Certification and ENERGY STAR Challenge. Through ENERGY STAR Certification program, manufacturing plants must achieve an ENERGY STAR score of 75 or higher using an industry-specific ENERGY STAR Energy Performance Indicator (EPI - benchmarking tools for industrial plant). NRCan works with EPA to determine joint EPIs that measure a plant’s energy performance and compare it to that of similar plants in Canada and the U.S., generating an ENERGY STAR score on a scale of 1 to 100. ENERGY STAR Certification is now available to to seven industral sectors in Canada: integrated steel, commercial baking, automotive assembly, automotive engines, automotive transmissions, cement, and frozen fried potatoes. Through ENERGY STAR Challenge, industrial plants that participate in the challenge and succeed in reducing their energy intensity by 10% , will earn NRCan recognition.

Big Oil Is Betting Billions On Nuclear Fusion

After decades confined largely to laboratories, nuclear fusion is beginning to attract the kind of money and industrial planning normally reserved for technologies expected to make it onto the grid. Global private investment in fusion hit a record $4.48 billion in 2025, up 69% from a year earlier, while some of the world’s largest energy companies are moving beyond simply backing fusion startups. Italian energy giant Eni S.p.A. (NYSE:E) now plans to deploy a commercial fusion power plant in Europe by the early 2040s or sooner, building on…

The U.S. Power Play in Iraq That Moscow and Beijing Didn’t See Coming

As Russia remains occupied with its war in Ukraine, Iran focuses on defending its territory against U.S. and Israeli attacks, and China maintains its involvement in both conflicts under the bar that would trigger direct conflict with America, Washington is leveraging its position in Iraq. These efforts by the U.S. and its allies have taken on further urgency as Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced last week that the country plans to raise oil production to between 8 million barrels per day (bpd) and 10 million bpd within six years -- so…

SPR Sinks Toward Operational Minimum as U.S. Crude Inventories Build

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United States rose by 4.2 million barrels in the week ending August 21. Analysts had expected a 1.9 million-barrel build. In the week prior, US crude oil inventories fell by 328,000. Commercial crude oil inventories excluding the SPR have lost just over 45 million barrels over the last nineteen weeks, with US crude inventories up 5.8 million for the year, according to API data, kept in check by draws from the SPR. For the week ending August 21, another 3.7 million…

U.S. Refiners Face New Crude Squeeze as Canada Cuts Oil Sands Output

U.S. refineries have been running at full speed for months to make up for lost fuel supply from the Middle East. Fuel exports from the United States have been breaking records. This may be about to change, and not because of the war. It is oil sands maintenance season in Canada. In September, Canadian crude oil production may drop by 300,000 barrels daily due to maintenance activities in the oil sands, Rystad Energy said this week, as quoted by Bloomberg. Usually, whenever such a seasonal disruption occurs, it gets offset with crude from storage.…
