INTRODUCTION “I like the idea of cultural sustainability, and focusing on the gifts, the strengths, the values, and the beliefs that we have and carrying those forward. Particularly in the Native community, our cultural beliefs and values support environmental consciousness.” ~Nichole Maher (Tlingit) The purpose of this document is to provide basic information on a range of cost effective renewable energy and efficiency practices with an emphasis on Alaska. This project was conceptualized as a resource for Tribes in Alaska and EPA Region 10, who are considering alternative energy sources as a way to lower their contributions to greenhouse gases and thus would be safeguarding the natural environment (air, water, and land upon which life depends) and protecting human health. There is also a need to provide cheaper energy in rural communities. These options reduce the need for diesel fuel and include; energy efficiency, biomass and waste-to-energy, wind, solar, geothermal, and hydrokinetic energy. The various options are organized in this guidebook by types of projects and technologies. Both the limitations and beneficial aspects of each option will be discussed and the regions within Alaska to which each is best suited will be indicated. Examples of projects, where they exist, are given as a framework for effective implementation. Each section includes contact information for further research for interested communities. The costs and energy productivity of each type of project are discussed as part of the description of the provided examples. Each type of project is followed by a “fast facts” reference to give a basic outline of project, its potential success, benefits, and costs or limitations. Through sharing of ideas and lessons-learned, these examples inspire renewable energy and efficiency ideas and provide resources and background information to make project planning easier. Though this guide includes technologies and project ideas that are applicable nationwide and would be beneficial in other regions, the resources, contacts, and issues in this document are specific to Alaska and its many uniquely challenging conditions. Community Energy Project Planning Laying out a community energy plan, regardless of what project looks best for your community, starts with gathering basic information about the community, such as the number of buildings and people, the amount of energy consumed overall, the average cost of energy bills in the community, the number of gallons of diesel consumed annually, etc. This basic information forms the foundation for more project-specific information such as the size and amount of insulation in buildings that would benefit most from weatherization improvements, information Sustainable Energy Opportunities: Best Practices for Alaska Tribes Page 3
