Fostering development of innovative solutions to Alaska’s energy challenges. Shipping in the Arctic Ocean is mostly limited to a short summer sea- son, typically between July and September. During the ice-free season the Bering Sea averages around 120 vessels. This number is expected to increase as the extent of sea ice cover decreases. Preliminary metrics such as access to a large base-load renew- able energy source, proximity to global shipping routes, pres- ence of a deep water port and supporting infrastructure re- quirements indicate that several sites throughout the Aleutian Islands, most notably Unalaska, could theoretically have the capacity to host smelting operations. Other energy-intensive industries such as mining and fish processing have theoretical applicability at various locations around the state, given suit- able demand and the availability of a resource. Overall, there are substantial hurdles to consider when discussing develop- ing stranded renewable energy resources through place-based industry. Many of these hurdles deal with the remoteness of these potential sites and typical challenges such as harsh cli- mates. Others, including the high capital cost of such applica- tions and need for competitive business environment, speak more to the ability of developing a business model to move forward with these prospects. As interest in developing renewable energy in Alaska in- creases, finding innovative and emerging technology could encourage the advancement of stranded renewable resource projects in rural regions of the state. An example of this is Alaska’s Emerging Energy Technology Fund (EETF), imple- mented by the legislature in 2010, which seeks to “promote the expansion of energy sources available to Alaskans.” There is much activity globally in pursuing such relevant technolo- gies such as floating offshore wind turbines, wave energy conversion devices, and tidal hydrokinetic generation technol- ogy. In addition, transmission and distribution technologies, control systems, and energy storage devices are all the focus of development, and could be relevant to developing stranded renewables in Alaska.
