Day 1- Session 4: Resource nationalism – balancing politics and mining
Speaker: Pierre Boulanger, Quebec Gov't in London
The document outlines Quebec's Plan Nord, a 25-year, $80 billion project to develop northern Quebec. It will harness the region's potential in energy, mining, forestry and other sectors through infrastructure like roads, ports and a railway. The plan aims to create 20,000 jobs annually and ensure benefits for northern communities and all of Quebec through sustainable development that also protects the environment and indigenous cultures. A new government corporation and $2.1 billion initial investment will coordinate projects in the first five-year action plan.
Natural Resources Canada – Carbon Capture & Storage in Canada – Claude Gauvin...Global CCS Institute
Canada supports the development and use of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to reconcile its economically important energy sector with climate change objectives. CCS could allow continued production and use of fossil fuels while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Canada is taking actions like funding demonstration projects, conducting research and development, developing regulatory frameworks, and engaging domestically and internationally to advance CCS. Significant public investments totaling billions of dollars have supported multiple CCS demonstration projects across various Canadian energy industries.
The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was established in 1981 to redevelop eight square miles of largely derelict former docklands in East London. Over 17 years, the LDDC transformed the area through major infrastructure developments and encouraging private investment, leading to a doubling of the population. Issues around affordable housing and tensions with existing communities were problems. Control was returned to local authorities in 1998 when redevelopment was largely complete, though further expansion continues.
This action plan outlines four objectives from 2021-2024: 1) Promote low emissions in the Mediterranean region by facilitating ratification and implementation of emission control areas. 2) Help small isolated municipalities produce renewable energy for local use. 3) Promote awareness and sustainable behavior of businesses in coastal countries to preserve marine biodiversity while supporting economic growth. 4) Encourage exchange of best practices on the above themes between Mediterranean countries and other maritime regions like Central and South America.
1) One Public Estate (OPE) is a program that received additional funding in 2015 to facilitate collaboration between local and central government on shared property assets.
2) OPE involves over three quarters of UK councils in 60 partnerships and aims to achieve economic growth through new homes and jobs, more integrated public services, capital receipts, and reduced running costs.
3) Examples of OPE collaborations include an integrated estates strategy between Croydon council and the NHS to develop land for 600 new homes and facilities, and a project in Cornwall for a tri-service emergency services center.
A Unique Opportunity: Quebec’s Plan NordNow Dentons
This document provides an overview of Quebec's Plan Nord, a major economic development initiative for the northern region of the province. The key points are:
1) Plan Nord encompasses 1.2 million square kilometers north of the 49th parallel, accounting for 72% of Quebec's land mass but only 2% of its population.
2) Quebec has extensive experience
The document discusses the history and regeneration of London's Docklands area. It details how London grew as an important port city along the Thames river since Roman times. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Docklands economy declined significantly as the docks closed down. In 1981, the London Docklands Development Corporation was established to regenerate the 81⁄2 square mile Docklands Urban Development Area, which had become derelict and depressed. Major regeneration projects like Canary Wharf transformed the area with new buildings, open spaces, and access to the waterfront.
The urban development of Cardiff Bay underwent significant changes over the 20th century. In the 19th century, Cardiff Bay prospered as an industrial port due to its coal and iron resources. However, in the 20th century exports declined as overseas markets were lost in the wars and other countries produced steel cheaper. By the 1980s, the area was largely derelict with unemployment and empty buildings. To regenerate the area, the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation was created in 1987 and constructed a barrage to create a freshwater bay, attracting new housing, services, and tourism but flooding important tidal habitats.

Low Emission Strategy in London Jo Boyd-WallisSTEP_scotland
This document discusses London's strategy to reduce emissions through various policies and initiatives. It outlines the current Low Emission Zone (LEZ) that charges high-polluting commercial vehicles driving in London, which has successfully reduced particulate matter. It proposes a new Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) for central London that would affect more vehicle types and have tighter emission standards. The ULEZ aims to address nitrogen dioxide exceedances and is part of a wider strategy that also involves promoting low-emission buses and taxis. The timeline for implementing the ULEZ is still pending further announcements.
The document outlines Copenhagen's plan to become the world's first carbon neutral capital by 2025. It details the city's goals and initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions through increased energy efficiency, renewable energy production, green mobility solutions, and reductions in city operations. The plan estimates that proposed initiatives could reduce CO2 emissions by over 800,000 tons compared to business as usual in 2025, though an additional 70,000 ton reduction is still needed to reach carbon neutrality. The plan emphasizes collaboration across city government, businesses, universities, and citizens to both cut emissions and promote green growth in Copenhagen.
El 5 de juny de 2015, amb motiu del dia mundial del medi ambient, va tenir lloc el Simposi europeu sobre qualitat de l'aire, soroll i els seus efectes sobre la salut a les aglomeracions urbanes, un esdeveniment organitzat pel Departament de Territori i Sostenibilitat de la Generalitat de Catalunya, l'Institut de Salut Global de Barcelona (ISGlobal) i el Centre de Recerca en Epidemiologia Ambiental (CREAL), centre aliat ISGlobal.
1) The document discusses a proposed CCS project called the Don Valley Power Project (DVPP) in the UK. It analyzes the business case for DVPP and identifies key factors for making CCS projects commercially viable such as government support mechanisms, carbon pricing, and using CO2 for enhanced oil recovery.
2) DVPP's plan was to use CO2 from a proposed coal power plant for EOR in the North Sea, with the revenue from EOR covering storage costs. However, DVPP was unsuccessful in obtaining a UK capital grant and the high capital costs remain a challenge.
3) For CCS to succeed, the document emphasizes that future projects must reduce costs, secure diverse sources
The document discusses the legacy of brownfield sites across the UK due to de-industrialization. It notes that while many individual brownfield sites have been successfully redeveloped, wider community regeneration has often been less successful due to a lack of clear policy. The document evaluates the financial incentives and legislation governing the sustainable redevelopment of brownfield sites in the UK. It concludes that there are tax benefits to incentivize developing brownfield sites but that reforms are needed to make incentives more applicable and support political goals of increasing brownfield redevelopment.
Liveable & Sustainable Cities - 12 learnings from CopenhagenLeaderlab
How do we shape more liveable, sustainable and healthy cities? In 1993 Copenhagen municipality was nearly bankrupt and the city was put under administration by the central government. In 2008 Copenhagen was nominated the most liveable city by the lifestyle magazine Monocle. A nomination, which was repeated in 2013 and again in 2014. We’ve talked to current and past City Mayors, current and past City Architects, the investors and developers and central civil servants to name a few. We’ve condensed the factual and personal observations into 12 key actions and we believe that these represent the drivers of change, which is transforming the city of Copenhagen.

Projects received a combination of loans, grants, and investments from these different public and private sources.
Itä- ja Länsi-Afrikan liiketoimintamahdollisuudet, Heta PyhälahtiBusiness Finland
Southern African markets are at different stages of development. Countries like Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa have developed manufacturing sectors and economies based on mining, while others like Mozambique and Angola are developing new industries from gas, coal, and oil resources. International mining investments are driving infrastructure development across the region. South Africa in particular has a large economy and middle class, and serves as a gateway to the rest of Southern Africa, though it faces challenges of unemployment and unequal development.
This document provides an overview and update of the Caledonia Clean Energy Project (CCEP). It summarizes that CCEP aims to build a 570MW gasification power plant in Grangemouth, Scotland that would capture 94% of CO2 emissions from coal. It would transport the captured CO2 via existing pipelines to offshore storage. The project is currently finalizing a grant agreement and work program to further develop preliminary design and feasibility over 18 months. Long term, CCEP aims to be the anchor project for a full integrated CCS system in Scotland capturing from multiple sources and storing in multiple offshore locations while enabling enhanced oil recovery.
Adrian Mohareb presentation - Sweden vs. Canada on Climate Change Mitigation ...Adrian Mohareb
This document compares greenhouse gas emissions reduction efforts in Sweden and Canada. Sweden has implemented significant climate policies including a carbon tax, renewable energy targets, and investing in low-carbon technologies. Canadian climate policy has varied by level of government. While the federal government has lagged, some provinces have instituted meaningful policies. The document suggests Canada can learn from Sweden's comprehensive, economy-wide approach to mitigating emissions and transitioning to a low-carbon society. Key policies and technologies deployed in Sweden that could inform Canadian efforts are described.
The document discusses carbon capture and storage (CCS) regulatory and project developments in the United States.
[1] The EPA finalized rules for geological storage of CO2 and greenhouse gas reporting, providing a regulatory framework. Several states also passed CCS legislation. [2] Several large CCS projects were underway in the US, applying CCS at coal power plants and for enhanced oil recovery. [3] However, a key project called FutureGen 2.0 hit a setback as one of its partners, Ameren, withdrew, which could delay or imperil the project and CCS technology demonstration in the US.
The document discusses GoviEx Uranium Inc., a uranium mining company with projects in Niger. It summarizes GoviEx's milestones since 2007 including exploration programs, resource estimates, development plans, and strategic partnerships. It highlights the opportunity in Niger's uranium industry given the country's role as a top uranium producer. It also notes GoviEx's local investment and community initiatives in Niger. Charts show GoviEx's Madaouela project resources and development plan economics compare favorably to peers given its large resource base and low costs.

Low carbon hydrogen will play a key role in achieving the UK's net zero targets. The UK government is doubling its ambition for low carbon hydrogen production capacity to up to 10GW by 2030. It has introduced several new policies and funding mechanisms to support the development of a thriving hydrogen economy, including a Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, a hydrogen business model, and a Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard. Working with industry, the government aims to have up to 2GW of hydrogen production capacity operational or under construction by 2025 to help unlock over £9 billion in private investment by 2030.
The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) was established in 1981 to regenerate an 8.5 square mile area of docklands in East London that had declined with the collapse of the dock industry. The docklands area suffered from contaminated land, depressed housing and a lack of new industries or jobs. Over nearly two decades, the LDDC successfully redeveloped the area by cleaning up land, constructing new housing and transport infrastructure, and attracting private investment in businesses that created over 80,000 new jobs. However, problems remained with high housing costs and local residents lacking qualifications for the new jobs. When the LDDC's work concluded in 1998, local boroughs and agencies took over continuing the regeneration.
