Land Acknowledgement
This is Dena'ina ełnena.
This is Dena'ina homeland.
Launch Alaska is located on the traditional territories of the Dena’ina peoples who have called this region home for thousands of years. For our organization to succeed, we depend on the contributions, innovations, and contemporary perspective of Alaska’s indigenous peoples.
Through the partnerships that we form and the projects that our companies embark on, we hope to acknowledge and honor the past and present land stewardship and place-based knowledge of the peoples of these territories.
Energyshed: Exploring Place-Based Generation
An energyshed, similar in concept to a watershed, considers all the energy demand in a given region as well as local energy generation. Focusing on an energyshed can also help show how the costs and benefits of an energy system are distributed within and between geographic communities.
This project would primarily engage and benefit Native Alaska communities, but also benefit other energy burdened communities in the area.
Defense Community Infrastructure Project
Port of Alaska is Alaska’s most versatile port that handled 5.2 million tons of fuel and freight in 2022, including containers, liquid bulk, dry bulk, break bulk, and cruise ships too.
Moves goods consumed by 90 percent of Alaska’s population
Accounts for more than 80 percent of the vans and containers shipped to Southcentral Alaska ports
Accounts for 75 percent of all non-petroleum marine cargo shipped into Alaska, exclusive of Southeast Alaska (which is primarily served by barges directly from Puget Sound)
Accounts for 50 percent of all freight shipped into Alaska – by all modes
Supports more than $14 billion in commercial activity in Alaska – it is Alaska’s main inbound, containerized freight and fuel distribution center
It is located on tsunami-proof upper Cook Inlet, adjacent to Alaska’s population center and primary road, marine, air, rail and pipeline cargo distribution systems.
