Cover Story: This review highlights the urgent need for decarbonization in Northern Canadian off-grid Indigenous communities, where the dependence on diesel for heat and power results in high greenhouse gas emissions. It examines strategies to improve building efficiency through advanced insulation, airtightness, and reduced thermal bridging, demonstrated by a prototype house in Quaqtaq that cut energy use by over 50%. The study also evaluates renewable options including solar, wind, geothermal, and run-of-river hydropower. Successful projects such as the Innavik hydroelectric initiative and Raglan Mine turbines show the potential to greatly reduce diesel use. The review further emphasizes the importance of Indigenous knowledge to ensure culturally appropriate solutions and identifies key technical and socio-economic barriers that must be addressed for a sustainable and equitable energy transition.
