Alberta Energy

Alberta Energy

Alberta, Canada is home to the second largest proven oil reserves in the world and is a major North American source for conventional gas and coalbed methane. This wealth of resources has made Alberta a global energy leader – one that is committed to enhancing clean energy production through energy technology leadership.


Alberta Energy is the provincial government department that manages the development of the province's non-renewable resources; grants industry the right to explore for and develop energy and mineral resources; establishes, administers and monitors the effectiveness of fiscal and royalty systems; promotes the deployment of green energy; and encourages additional investment that creates jobs and economic prosperity for Canada. 


The Carbon Capture and Storage Development/Energy Efficiency and Conservation Branch is instrumental to the government’s plan to continue to develop energy resources that support the quality of life of people throughout the world, while minimizing the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment. The branch is responsible for leading the creation of a comprehensive carbon capture and storage (CCS) development program for the Government of Alberta and policies to facilitate the development of CCS in Alberta. This program includes a $2 billion funding program that will provide grants to four commercial-scale CCS projects that will reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as facilitate information sharing about this new technology to help lower costs over time and make CCS more accessible. Recently, the branch spearheaded the development of legislation to further enable CCS in the Canadian province.

Bellona Europa

Bellona Europa www.bellona.org

On June 16th 1986, Bellona was formed as a non-profit foundation. Formally, we are named the Environmental Foundation Bellona, but usually Bellona is sufficient. At the end of the 1980s we became well known first and foremost through spectacular actions against Norwegian industrial companies with more or less significant cases of environmental contamination on their conscience. Since then, we have taken on a more international focus, particularly through our work on nuclear contamination in Russia, and we have put a stronger focus on analyses and on the obtaining of facts.

 

Bellona’s main office is located in Grünerløkka in central Oslo. A large, white brick house on the shore of the Akers River is “home” to about thirty employees. Represented among these employees are a wide variation of disciplines, from nuclear physicists, to engineers, economists, lawyers, advisors and journalists―a multifaceted consortium of individuals that enables us to address the challenges we face from different angles.

 

Bellona Europa seeks to influence the making of EU legislation through alliances with other NGOs, industry, academics and progressive politicians, particularly members of the European Parliament.

Supporting Partners

The Carbon Capture and Storage Association

The Carbon Capture and Storage Association www.ccsassociation.org.uk

The CCSA brings together a wide range of specialist companies across the spectrum of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, as well as a variety of support services to the energy sector. The Association exists to represent the interests of its members in promoting the business of CCS, raising awareness of the benefits of CCS and to assist policy developments in the UK, EU and internationally towards a long term regulatory framework for CCS, as a means of abating carbon dioxide emissions.

 

Zero Emissions Platform

Zero Emissions Platform www.zeroemissionsplatform.eu

Based on the vision of the future it developed, ETP ZEP aims at coordinating the establishment and implementation of a strategic research agenda to meet the needs of European Citizens and industry by 2020.  In line with the proposed priority for "Near Zero Emission Power Generation" in FP7, the technology platform will identify and remove the obstacles to the creation of highly efficient power plants with near-zero emissions which will drastically reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuel use, particularly coal.  This will include CO2 capture and storage, as well as clean conversion technologies leading to substantial improvements in plant efficiency, reliability and costs. The platform is open and accessible, allowing the participation of all interested stakeholders.

E3G

E3G www.e3g.org

 

E3G (Third Generation Environmentalism) is an independent not-for-profit organisation, established in 2004, that works in the public interest to accelerate the global transition to sustainable development. 

We build coalitions to achieve carefully defined outcomes, chosen for their capacity to leverage change. E3G founders had been working together and developing their shared thinking for several years before the organisation was constituted in 2004. E3G has been working since 2005 on funding and rules for the EU flagship CCS demonstration programme and on the joint UK-EU-China commercial scale CCS demonstration (NZEC).
