The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2015nuclearreport
The challenge to select and assess the outstanding events of the year for the release of the July 2015 edition of the World Nuclear Industry Status Report turned out to be particularly tough: For the first time in 45 years, Japan was without nuclear electricity (and no lights went out) and, indeed, without any operating industrial nuclear facility or even research reactor; AREVA, the self-proclaimed “global leader in nuclear energy”, went technically bankrupt; China, the global leader in new-build, launched a construction site after a 15-month break; in the U.K., concerning the French sponsored new-build project, there are “growing suspicions” that the Treasury “would not be disappointed if Hinkley [Point C] never happened”; the French draft Energy Bill passed the second reading at the French National Assembly stipulating the reduction of the nuclear share from three quarters to about half by 2025; and so on. While this report attempts to provide an overview of essential events of the past year its main aim is to identify and highlight the trends.

4. HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP
Wednesday 28th October 2015
Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK
A: Shale Gas: Stakeholder
Engagement - Winning the
Societal License to Operate
Workshop Leader:
Mike Holgate, Energy Consultant, Associate, Aquatera
Overview of workshop:
This interactive workshop will take you down the rocky
road of stakeholder engagement. We’ll be working out
whom you need and don’t need to talk to, how best to
work with them and when. We’ll cover identifying the
planning and operational issues associated with
mitigating and monitoring environmental and social
impacts. We’ll also discuss community benefits and
facilitating sustainable investment, as well as engaging
with external stakeholders and understanding their key
concerns, such as climate change.
Why you should attend:
Your business is finding and exploiting hydrocarbon
resources. You may be forgiven for not understanding
too much about how to approach the softer, real and
perceived issues, but you need to be every bit as
successful here as in other parts of your operations if you
want to minimize the risk of delays and setbacks. This
interactive workshop will help you understand the
typical environmental and social issues associated with
shale gas developments and ways to construct effective
management plans. We will help get you started on the
right foot through understanding the underlying issues,
how to create successful stakeholder relationships and
earn the trust to help you stay there.

About the workshop host:
Michael is an energy consultant with over 25 years’
experience in the oil, renewable energy and carbon
management sectors. While based in the Orkney Islands,
he spent 15 years working offshore as a drilling fluids
consultant. During his time onshore he had a unique
opportunity to see how oil development affected a
small island community at first hand. He went on to
broaden his environmental skills in the oil & gas sector
working as an environmental advisor and sustainable
development manager for international oil & gas
projects for clients including Shell, BP, Agip, the Georgian
Government and the EU INOGATE program. His interest
in shale gas started with a review of the environmental
and social risks arising for 3 Legs Resources. He has
subsequently written and presented his views on the
responsible development of shale gas in a number of
fora including Poland and Lithuania at the invitation of
government. Michael is an advisor to the UK Shale Gas
Task Force.
About Aquatera:
Aquatera is a sustainable energy consultancy with a
wide global portfolio of project experience related to
energy. The company is best known for its work in
conventional oil and gas and wind, wave and tidal
energy. Aquatera specialises in helping project
developers find appropriate and optimal pathways for
development where they exist. The company also helps
governments and communities to examine and pursue
energy strategies that provide maximum benefit with
minimal impact with a sustainable development
framework. Such insight will be critical to the shale gas
industry if appropriate development strategies are to be
found within an overall sustainable energy framework.
5. B: The Shale Gas Industry
in Germany and Europe
- Legal Frameworks and Gaps
Workshop Leader:
Andy Gheorghiu, Campaigner & Consultant,
Andy Gheorghiu Consulting
Overview of workshop
This workshop will take a look at how progressed the
shale industry in Germany is along side the regulation.
We will focus on a number of areas including how
democratic the process has been and how opposition
groups are dealing with the prospect of shale. We will
then take a look at a case study, and look at the ins and
outs of the applications and processes. We will also focus
on the minimum principles set out by the EU Commission
for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons
(such as shale gas) using high-volume hydraulic
fracturing and different perspectives on the
development in the EU.
Why you should attend:
• Get an overview of the German status quo
concerning development and legal framework of the
shale industry in Germany
• Learn about the dialogue processes between the
different stakeholders, the confrontational elements,
the obstacles and the existing administrative and legal
inadequacies
• Learn about the case in North-Hesse where a
permission license was denied because of the
predominant public interest using regional planning
and energy policy elements
• Understand the minimum principles of the EU
Commission on fracking projects
• Analyse the Member States' replies to the
questionnaire on measures they put in place in
response to the Recommendation of the EU
Commission on minimum principles for the exploration
and production of hydrocarbons
• Assess whether or not the legal framework in Germany
and Europe is sufficient to address the risks and
impacts of the shale / fracking industry and try to
identify the legal gaps
• Discuss whether or not the intense debate is in
proportion to the amount of the estimated technically
recoverable hydrocarbons

About the workshop host:
Andy Gheorghiu, a former public servant, got involved in
the anti-fracking movement when an international oil
and gas company requested a permission license for
shale gas development in North-Hesse, Germany.
He wrote legal advices / statements / articles and gives
lectures concerning the different aspects of legal
framework in Germany. He also contributed to the
building of a stronger European network.
Meanwhile he works as a full-time freelance campaigner
and activist for climate/environmental protection,
energy policy and the further development of
democratic processes. Last year, he contributed as a
researcher and author to the Friends of the Earth report
"Fracking Frenzy."
In February 2015 he particpated in the anti-fracking
conference in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, as the key
note speaker.
