This presentation by The Ecological Sequestration Trust and partners Institute for Integrated Economics Research (IIER), Geodan and the International Centre for Earth Simulation (ICES), will show how the integrated systems platform resilience.io can help UB City achieve its goals; how it can help assess new infrastructure project risk and return and identify policies and projects offering the greatest long-term ecological-social-economic benefits for UB citizens.
It will outline how the platform can be used to provide a clear economic case for investment in low carbon sustainable projects and enable global and regional investment to be mobilised to help deliver the UB City Economic Development Strategy.

My journey to provide and scale support to city regions to meet Global Goals by 2030
In 2008 I was working in Arup, heading up their global planning business with a world class team of transport, environmental, urban and policy and economics experts. Before that I had worked in infrastructure design and delivery, particularly Public Private Partnerships, around the World and I was also an adviser to the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone on his Sustainable Development Commission and so I was very aware of the challenges of achieving improved city resilience.
My team at Arup was working at the cutting edge of low carbon sustainable city planning worldwide, particularly in China. It was there I got very inspired by their vision of an ecological civilisation, living in harmony with nature, as the next phase of development after the industrial model. However getting the plans built everywhere we worked was very difficult because success still revolved around GDP growth and that was the metric decision making. We knew that this was damaging the health of land and ocean ecology, and human well-being was not necessarily improving as a result, but everyone thought that this was the “price of progress”. Development was becoming less inclusive in many more developed countries as well.
I was given the opportunity to develop and articulate a roadmap towards a more resilient Ecological Age in the 2008-9 Brunel Lecture sponsored by Institution of Civil Engineers in London.
I gave this presentation all over the world in 45 cities in 2008-9, and the feedback was very positive, but many were skeptical that a more resilient Ecological Age could be delivered. The financial crash did not help the mood. It was very clear that the disconnect between investment decision making and the community social/ecological system impact at global and local scales was a huge problem. We did not have the tools and understanding of how human and ecology systems and resource flows interact and how this affects investment and health-productivity risks. It was clear to most people that city regions would be critical in determining a successful outcome for humanity by 2050, because of the projected urbanisation and the resulting investment drawn into those locations. The analysis showed that we had to embrace a factor 4 reduction in pollution and resource consumption, including greenhouse gas emissions, by 2050 both in retrofitting existing city regions and in the model for new urbanisation, if a successful outcome was to be achieved...

November 17th 2015, 11:00 – 12:30 – An outline summary of potential use cases to demonstrate the functionality of the prototype of resilience.io. The cases outlined at this meeting are based on inputs given by the GTG at the September meeting. Use-case development will be collaborative with the GTG and the final selection of use cases will take place in January 2016.
September 10th 2015, 10:00 – 11:30 – The development of WASH use case studies to simulate in the model – GTG Webinar. We will also discuss sets of technology and policy options that are to be investigated as well as anticipated population and economic development scenarios and their impacts on the WASH sector. The initial use cases will be presented by Rembrandt Koppelaar with interactive input and discussion by GTG members. Thereafter GTG will be asked to provide own use cases.

Exploiting this source of energy requires techniques similar to those used in oil and gas, with the objective of extracting a hot geothermal fluid (hot water, steam) which is then used in power plants to generate electricity. Clearly, electricity is much more versatile than heat as it can be converted with high efficiency in most other sources of energy.
Three ingredients are generally needed for geothermal exploration (Boyle, 2012): an aquifer containing water within reach of drilling techniques, a relatively impermeable cap rock which retains the fluid at depth and a heat source. In some regions (e.g. Iceland, Azores, Hawaii), abundant heat is available from volcanic sources. Other geothermal developments are located within extinct volcanic regions, such as North Italy and West USA, which is made possible because the cap rock is able to trap heat for sufficient time to allow its exploration even today.
Preliminary studies indicate that Mongolia is comparatively rich in low temperature geothermal resources (Lkhagvadorj & Tseesuren, 2005). There are over 40 hot springs primarily in the northwest and north-central regions. These are associated with regions of geologically-recent volcanic activity or basin formation (where the crust is extended and thinned by tectonic activity) resulting in an increase in the local crustal geothermal gradient.
Heat flow measurements range from 44 mW/m2 to 80 mW/m2. Measurements are limited to the north and central parts of the country and many of the measurements are from shallow boreholes or near-surface measurements. It is unknown whether these are local anomalies or representative of region-wide heat flow. The greatest heat flow measurements are recorded in Lake Hovsgol on the southern flank of the Baikal Rift, a zone of significant crustal attenuation; heat flow in this region is 92 mW/m2 (Lysak & Dorofeeva, 2003). These values are similar to those measured in the two most promising UK regions in terms of enhanced geothermal systems: the South-West (Devon and Cornwall) and the Lake District.
The most promising regions for geothermal resources are the geologically young intermontaine basins; essentially the low-lying regions of the country. In these regions the crust has been thinned, allowing the underlying, partially molten, mantle to come closer to the surface. This results in an increase in the geothermal gradient. All the areas with elevated heat flow measurements and/or hot springs have been subject to recent geological activity and/or contain recently active fault systems. The latter can act as conduits for warm/hot groundwater from lower crustal levels to reach the surface. Based on this observation it is expected that similar geothermal anomalies may be found in the southern parts of the country, particularly along the northern margin of the Gobi Altay (see next slide).
An as-yet-to-be-evaluated source of geothermal heat may be radiogenic crystalline rock. Many igneous (commonly granite) and metamorphic rocks contain significant amounts of radiogenic material that through their decay series, generate heat.
The Trust has also chosen Chongming Island in Shanghai which is a demonstrator region for China State Government’s ecological development plans, Kigali in Rwanda which aims to implement Rwanda’s low carbon action plan and the Swansea Region of South Wales which aims to regenerate the local economy through green sustainable growth.
