Dieter Helm gave a lecture in 2017 about natural capital and sustainable growth. He argued that natural capital is at the heart of the economy by providing key production inputs and lowering future economic output when depleted. Natural capital is also important for sustainable growth as the global population increases and consumption rises dramatically by 2100, putting pressure on resources like air, water, food, and biodiversity if not managed properly. Helm proposed that natural capital should be treated as an asset that replenishes itself for free if thresholds are maintained. Revenue from non-renewable resources could fund maintaining and improving renewable natural capital assets to support sustainable economic growth over the long run. Immediate opportunities exist in implementing the UK's 25 Year Environment Plan and reforming

The document summarizes a presentation given by Dieter Helm on applying a natural capital approach for Exmoor National Park. It discusses using natural capital planning to maintain Exmoor's assets in perpetuity through a long-term capital maintenance budget and funding plan. This would involve creating an asset register, identifying at-risk ecosystems, and outlining capital projects and enhancements over 25 years to pass on the park in good condition for future generations. Funding could come from grants, tourism levies, payments for ecosystem services, and establishing a natural capital fund.
Natural devon 6.04.17
Dieter Helm gave a lecture in 2017 about natural capital and sustainable growth. He argued that natural capital is at the heart of the economy by providing key production inputs and lowering future economic output when depleted. Measuring GDP alone is a bad measure because it ignores depletion of natural capital. Current levels of consumption are unsustainable as they will exceed environmental thresholds by 2100 with a population of 10-12 billion people. Opportunities exist in implementing the UK's 25 Year Environment Plan and reforming agriculture policy after Brexit to focus on ecosystem services. Achieving sustainable economic growth requires maintaining or growing renewable natural capital and investing economic rents from non-renewables into renewables through a Natural Capital Fund.

This document discusses common good land use and achieving a 25-year natural environment plan in the UK. It addresses the need to maintain public goods like natural capital that are prone to market failures. It proposes aggregate rules to maintain renewable natural capital and invest proceeds from non-renewables into renewables. The document outlines commitments to a 25-year plan framework and using subsidies post-EU CAP to better manage land. It envisions the natural environment in 25 years if declines in natural capital can be avoided and five-year staging posts are established.
Castle 10.05.16
Dieter Helm gave a presentation on integrating the environment into economic policymaking. He discussed (1) treating the environment as a key economic asset rather than an add-on, (2) using natural capital accounting approaches to establish natural balance sheets and assess capital maintenance, and (3) outlining "weak" and "strong" aggregate natural capital rules to guide sustainable use of renewable and non-renewable resources. Helm then reviewed policy options and paths to practical implementation, including through catchment-level pilots, before concluding with next steps around the UK's 25-year environment plan and expanding natural capital accounting.
Trinity 06.02.17
This document outlines an agenda to establish a framework for natural capital accounting and conservation. It discusses defining natural capital assets and different types. It also covers establishing thresholds and safe limits for ecosystems based on science. The document proposes aggregate natural capital rules to maintain or increase renewable natural capital. It discusses implementing natural capital accounts, identifying economic benefits of nature, and integrating these into national policies and budgets. Pioneering projects are proposed in specific areas, with an overall 25 year plan aiming to leave the environment in better condition than it was inherited.
Responding to Climate Change at the Local Level
Local governments play a key role in addressing climate change through their authority over energy use, land use, waste management, and more. Communities in New York can take actions like adopting the NYS Climate Smart Communities pledge, which involves setting emissions reduction goals, inventorying emissions, promoting renewable energy and recycling, and planning for climate change adaptation. Both mitigation efforts to reduce emissions and adaptation strategies for unavoidable impacts provide multiple benefits to communities like cost savings, economic growth, and more sustainable development. Resources are available to help communities develop and implement climate action plans.

Unlocking Climate Finance - Meeting T&Ts NDC
Presented at the Clean Energy Conference 2018 (June 7 to 8, 2018) hosted by the Energy Chamber of Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago has recently ratified the Paris Agreement and Cabinet has recently approved the Implementation Plan for our Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. This NDC Implementation Plan is the road map for meeting our NDC targets, financing the NDC is estimated to be $2 billion USD.
Climate finance that is adequate, sustainable, predictable and accessible is required to successful achieve our NDC and is expected from a mix of sources.
T&T’s NDC offers numerous investment opportunities for financing renewable energy projects in T&T but we need to address how to effectively access and mobilize climate finance.
Maximising synergies between the Sustainable Development Goals
The document discusses maximizing synergies between sustainable development goals according to the Sustainable Development Scenario presented by the IEA. It summarizes that the Sustainable Development Scenario reduces CO2 emissions while also achieving universal energy access, improving air quality, and assessing implications for climate change and water. The CO2 emissions trajectory in this scenario would limit global temperature rise to 1.5-1.6°C by 2100. While existing coal power plants represent half of current CO2 emissions, policies are needed to support technologies like CCUS to reduce emissions from these plants going forward. Achieving energy access can offset higher emissions from fossil fuel use through reduced traditional biomass consumption. Low-carbon measures in this scenario account for over half

Madrid, Spain. 4th November 2015.ACT climate change adaptation strategy presentation to WVCC
The ACT Climate Change Adaptation Strategy aims to prepare the ACT region for the inevitable impacts of climate change. It acknowledges that past approaches are no longer sufficient and that reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience are needed. The strategy was developed through sectoral and whole-of-government approaches. It has four key outcomes: developing territory-wide resilience; making Canberra sustainable for all seasons; promoting adaptation innovation; and ensuring integrated action. Public consultation on the draft strategy is currently open to gather input and feedback.
New business opportunities in a low carbon economy
The document discusses new business opportunities in a low carbon economy. It outlines several strategies including:
1) Jumping on renewable energy which is receiving significant government funding but remains risky.
2) Helping create new areas like reducing food emissions which receive little attention now but that is likely to change.
3) Developing enabling services like carbon accounting software to help other industries track emissions.
4) Adding low carbon initiatives to existing businesses to partially justify investments.
5) Anticipating future needs like geoengineering which receives no funding now but could see large projects in 15-20 years.
Sustainable Development Compatibility with 1.5 and 2C pathways
The document discusses the pathways and actions needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C according to the IPCC special report. It notes that CO2 emissions must be reduced 45% by 2030, reach net zero by 2050, and involve carbon dioxide removal. Transitioning energy, land, industry, and urban infrastructure provides opportunities for synergies between climate change mitigation and sustainable development goals. However, there are also risks of trade-offs that policies aim to maximize synergies by acting fast with long-term strategies, combining actions across sectors and stakeholders, and coordinating internationally.

Side Event - Climate Science for Policy - Emissions Gap Report 2018 - UN Envi...
Unless countries increase their climate ambitions and actions before 2030, exceeding the 1.5°C goal will be unavoidable according to the 2018 Emissions Gap Report. Current national climate pledges put the world on track for around 3°C of warming by 2100 rather than well below 2°C. The report finds that global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and must be 25-55% lower by 2030 to meet the 1.5-2°C goals. While full implementation of unconditional national pledges would limit warming to 3.2°C, strengthening policies, technologies and behaviors could help close the emissions gap to meet the Paris Agreement goals.
Transition to low-emission development
The document discusses transitioning to low-emission development. It summarizes that international climate change negotiations aim to establish a new global agreement by 2015 to reduce emissions starting in 2020. Many countries have already developed low-emission development strategies and climate action plans. Transitioning to low-emission development will require significant emission reductions through policies like carbon pricing, clean technology development, reducing deforestation, and changing consumption behaviors. Governments are also promoting energy savings through initiatives like efficiency standards, consumer information programs, and incentives. Rapid urbanization presents both challenges and opportunities for reducing emissions through more sustainable city development.

Green economy
This document discusses the concept of a green economy. A green economy aims to improve human well-being and social equity while significantly reducing environmental risks. It is an economy that sustains development without degrading the environment. A green economy was initiated in response to multiple crises and accelerating resource scarcity. It provides opportunities to reduce poverty and inequality through sustainable management of natural resources. Key sectors of a green economy include renewable energy, green buildings, sustainable transport, water management, waste management, and land management. Developing countries face challenges in transitioning to a green economy due to low emissions levels and investments. Enabling conditions include establishing regulations, removing subsidies, prioritizing green investments, and engaging the private sector and public.
State action plans on climate change_Preeti Soni, UNDP_15 October 2014
This document discusses State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCCs) in India. It provides background on climate change and its impacts. It then describes the process undertaken by states to develop SAPCCs, which help translate national climate policy to the local level. SAPCCs assess state-level vulnerabilities, identify adaptation and mitigation strategies, and prioritize actions. While 20 SAPCCs have been approved, challenges remain around implementation capacities, monitoring, financing, and coordinating with national policy. Ongoing work focuses on strengthening implementation mechanisms and exploring funding opportunities.

Water In Circular Economy and Resilience (WICER)
The document outlines the WICER framework which has 3 outcomes to build resilience in cities and their citizens. The outcomes are: 1) deliver resilient and inclusive water services; 2) design out waste and pollution through optimizing operations, recovering resources, and reducing pollution; and 3) preserve and regenerate natural systems such as restoring lands, managing groundwater, and using nature-based solutions. Implementing circular economy principles makes economic sense as utilities can generate additional revenue streams and investments in efficiency and sustainability can pay for themselves in less than 3 years while increasing resilience.
Tcpa video 15.09.16
The document discusses the economic arguments for maintaining and enhancing the green belt around cities in the UK. It argues that natural capital, like the green belt, provides significant economic and health benefits by being located near populated areas. Maintaining the green belt is important for sustainable economic growth because neglecting natural capital would negatively impact the environment, public health, and biodiversity. While some argue building on the green belt is needed for housing and economic development, the document counters that brownfield sites and increasing density are better alternatives that do not require sacrificing natural areas. The green belt could also be improved by enhancing its environmental quality and public access to provide even greater economic returns to the population.
Pillars or Sandcastles?
Can humanity achieve a sustainable balance within our closed ecosystem, or have we reached the point where that vision is just another example of the hubris of human exceptionalism? Is it time to switch our focus from sustainability to one of resilience in the face of societal collapse and industrial decline?

Can humanity achieve a sustainable balance within our closed ecosystem, or have we reached the point where that vision is just another example of the hubris of human exceptionalism? Is it time to switch our focus from sustainability to one of resilience in the face of societal collapse and industrial decline?
Bio112 ecological footprint
Ecological footprints measure the extent of biologically productive land and sea area required to produce the resources an individual, population or activity consumes and to absorb the corresponding waste, using prevailing technology levels. They are measured in global hectares, where one hectare represents the world average productivity. Current estimates indicate that humans are overshooting Earth's carrying capacity by 25-50% and that at current population growth and consumption rates, we will need 1.5 Earths by 2030 to sustain our footprint.
Sustainability
This document discusses the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development. It defines sustainability as exploiting resources in a way that allows for their full regeneration, and sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It also discusses ecological footprints, environmental impact assessments (EIAs), sustainability indicators, and weaknesses of EIAs. EIAs are used to assess potential environmental impacts of major projects and determine how to limit effects to acceptable levels. However, they have weaknesses such as difficulty in comparing standards and determining study boundaries.
Janez Potočnik World Circular Economy Forum 2017 Helsinki Finland
The document discusses the increasing strain being placed on global natural resources and the environment due to population growth, rising consumption, and inefficient resource use. It notes that decoupling economic growth from resource use and environmental impact is an imperative. However, markets alone will not drive the increases in resource efficiency needed and public policy is required. The transition to a new economic model that incorporates sustainability and circular economy principles could help address many of these issues, but meaningful system-level changes are still needed to avoid widespread environmental and social crises in the future.
Landscape 24.11.16
The document discusses the implications of Brexit on British agricultural policy. It summarizes the history and issues with the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). The CAP provides £3 billion in subsidies annually but agriculture only accounts for 0.7% of GDP. Pillar 1 subsidies are mostly decoupled from production but capitalized in land prices, making entry difficult. Pillar 2 agri-environmental schemes are inefficient and do not maximize biodiversity. Public money should fund public goods like landscapes, recreation and biodiversity. The 25-year natural environment plan provides an opportunity but lobbying interests could push policies that intensify farming and increase pollution.
Dclg 5.07.16
The document discusses the rationale for maintaining and enhancing the UK's Green Belt. It argues that the Green Belt provides natural capital benefits by being located near urban populations, including access to open spaces, improved air quality, health benefits, and biodiversity protection. While some argue building on the Green Belt is necessary for housing or won't significantly impact the environment, the response is that brownfield sites can provide housing, population growth projections are uncertain, and losing even small parts of the Green Belt could undermine the overall natural capital system. Rather than inhibiting economic growth, protecting natural capital is integral to sustainable long-term growth. Overall the Green Belt represents a major economic opportunity if revitalized for the 21st century with enhanced environmental standards and public

It notes that classical economics focuses on supply and demand without considering environmental external costs. This leads to market failures and overconsumption of limited resources. Environmental economics aims to assign value to natural resources and ecosystem services to better account for their importance. Approaches like natural capitalism emphasize radical resource productivity, closed-loop systems, and reinvesting in natural capital to support future prosperity within planetary boundaries. Individual actions and policy changes are needed to transition toward more sustainable economic models.
i-SUP 2014: Avoiding Extinction
Graciela presented this presentation, "Avoiding Extinction" at the 2014 i-SUP Conference in Brussels on September 2, 2014.
Avoiding extinction Summer School Prague June 2015
This document summarizes a presentation about avoiding extinction through addressing climate change and transitioning to sustainable economics. It discusses:
1) Humans have become the dominant geological force on Earth by changing the atmosphere, oceans, and biodiversity, putting the survival of our species at risk.
2) Urgent action is needed to address catastrophic climate risks like sea level rise and extreme weather that are displacing millions, as well as clean energy solutions.
3) The author created the Kyoto Protocol carbon market to provide a missing price signal to incentivize clean energy and transition the global economy to sustainability by connecting economics to environmental limits.
Natural Capital and Environmental Decision Making
The document discusses natural capital and the natural capital approach to environmental decision making. It provides background on natural capital, outlines some of the work that has been done so far including developing natural capital accounts, and discusses some issues and ideas for the future, including focusing on priority decisions and the dangers of excessive monetization given limitations in valuing ecosystem services. If the natural capital approach leads to improved decision making, better reporting, demonstrating societal value, and understanding new markets, it could help prioritize investments in natural capital assets most at risk. However, more work is still needed.
Sustainabile Business for a more Sustainable Future1
Sustainable business development aims to define sustainability and sustainable development from various perspectives. It discusses how applying sustainability principles to business can help address issues like rising consumption of natural resources. The document presents an overview of sustainability, explaining key concepts like the triple bottom line of people, planet and profits. It argues that viewing business and the economy through a systems thinking lens that considers environmental, social and economic impacts is needed to transition to a more sustainable model.
Extinction Rebellion: Understanding, declaring and acting upon a climate emer...
The document discusses the climate emergency based on scientific reports and data. It makes three key points:
1) Scientific reports from the UN's IPCC state that global warming must be limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid severe consequences for humanity. Current policies are insufficient to meet the UN's recommendations.
2) Scientific data shows that climate change impacts like Arctic ice melt and record high temperatures are occurring at a much faster rate than predicted. Positive climate feedback loops may be accelerating global warming.
3) Urgent action is needed to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions to near zero globally by 2040 in order to avert catastrophic effects of climate change by 2100 like widespread habitat loss and species extinction.
Confluence Presentation - Graciela Chichilnisky
This document summarizes a keynote speech given by Graciela Chichilnisky on the Kyoto Protocol and carbon markets. The speech discusses how human activity has dominated the planet, causing climate change, and how western economics has lacked connections between people, the environment, and future generations. It describes the carbon market created by the Kyoto Protocol as providing a missing price signal to incentivize reductions in carbon emissions and transition to clean energy. The speech argues this market and other changes can help align economics with sustainability and ensure the survival of humankind.
Prosperity UK Green Brexit 15.03.18
The document discusses the UK government's green agenda and policies around natural capital and the environment. It summarizes the government's 2011 White Paper on the natural environment, its 25 Year Environment Plan, and goals to reform agricultural policy. It argues that properly accounting for natural capital and environmental costs is important for economic efficiency. Currently, agricultural policy is bad for farmers, taxpayers, consumers and the environment. The document advocates for adopting an aggregate natural capital rule, ensuring new housing and infrastructure leads to net environmental gains, applying the polluter pays principle, and establishing universal access to the countryside and nature as a citizen's right.
Changing the nature of nature in policy and decision making
This document outlines challenges in current nature policy and decision-making. It argues that nature is often seen as a constraint rather than an asset, and economic models do not adequately value ecosystem services. Evidence used in policymaking focuses too narrowly, and nature is associated only with iconic places and species. The speaker advocates revaluing nature by integrating it into development and assessing impacts using tools like ecosystem services analysis. This can help move nature from being a disconnected afterthought to an integrated asset that maximizes benefits for both environment and humans. Key is measuring nature's intrinsic value, overcoming silos, and recognizing growth and nature can work together rather than opposition.

Lecture 1 The Concept of Natural Capital
Natural capital refers to the world's stocks of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It provides ecosystem services and underpins economic activity and human well-being. Natural capital differs from ecosystem services in that it represents the environmental assets or stocks that provide ecosystem service flows. Natural capital can be viewed through both a utility-based and asset/capabilities lens. There are debates around who has rights to natural capital and how to balance the rights of current and future generations. Natural capital is a core component of economic systems and output but is often not properly measured or accounted for in standard economic frameworks.
BEIS18.04.18
The document proposes three key proposals to facilitate rapid technical change in energy: equivalent firm power auctions, national system operators and regional system operators, and single licenses for network regulation. It argues these proposals will incentivize least-cost outcomes, storage and demand-side participation, secondary market development, competitive entry without picking winners or losers, integration of new technologies, and separation of system control from commercial activities. The proposals aim to minimize complexity and lobbying while facilitating decarbonization and technological solutions for energy systems.
Ciep 12.12.16
This document outlines the agenda for a discussion on structural changes in global energy markets. It identifies three major changes: 1) The end of the energy "super cycle" of high oil prices. 2) Decarbonization efforts led by the Paris Agreement. 3) Advances in technologies like shale, renewables, energy storage, and their impacts on electricity generation and distribution. It then examines the geopolitical implications for regions like Europe, China, the Middle East. It also discusses the impacts on oil/gas and utility companies and how energy markets may need to adapt to new market designs with zero marginal cost electricity sources.
Ox flora 6.11.16
This document outlines an agenda to discuss challenges facing the environment, why existing conservation strategies are not working, and a proposed "natural capital approach". The agenda includes discussing population and development pressures, the concept of natural capital, capital maintenance and enhancements, a proposed 25-year plan, and next steps in publishing frameworks and designing a nature fund.
Esri 4.10.16
This document summarizes the perspectives and issues around UK energy policy according to an expert in three timeframes:
1) Short term - Issues include capacity, nuclear decisions like Hinkley Point, and the effects of Brexit. The system involves many interventions.
2) Medium term - Fossil fuel prices and climate policy will be key factors. Oil prices may return to normal levels from current lows. Electricity demand is expected to grow.
3) Long term - Technology changes will dominate, like digitalization, zero marginal cost electricity, and electric vehicles. The system will transition to one dominated by low carbon electricity and decentralized generation. Rethinking energy, climate and market policies is needed for this transformation.
Big bca 15.09.16
Natural capital refers to the world's stocks of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. This document discusses how to integrate natural capital into business decisions and the economy. It argues that natural capital must be maintained like other capital assets to ensure long term sustainable economic growth. The challenges of the built environment are also addressed, as urbanization increases pressures on natural capital. The document calls for a 25 year natural capital plan to provide guidance on practical implementation and pioneering projects to help conserve natural capital while allowing development to occur.
Bdew 8.6.16 f
This document discusses decarbonization and its consequences for energy markets in Germany and Europe. It outlines the scale of the challenge, including continued growth in carbon emissions and population. It also notes forecasts of increasing oil demand and coal use. The emerging energy context includes falling fossil fuel prices and new technologies like electric vehicles. Policy responses have focused on exiting coal, but targets set in Paris may not achieve the 2-degree warming limit. The EU 2030 framework establishes renewables targets but also recentralizes some energy policies. Overall decarbonization will be difficult to achieve at the necessary scale and speed given these complex technical and policy issues.
Marketforce 15.03.16
Professor Dieter Helm of the University of Oxford presented on future models for utility regulation and policy. He discussed three potential models: 1) Increasing competition by reducing natural monopolies; 2) Maintaining licenses, universal service obligations, and the regulated asset base model; 3) Establishing system operators to combine competitive and regulated asset base approaches by focusing on the minimal natural monopoly functions. Helm argued that governments are increasingly intervening in infrastructure sectors like energy, water, and communications. Emerging models involve more competition where possible, with system operators overseeing universal service obligations and regulated asset bases.
Kapsarc 29.03.16
The document discusses the end of vertically integrated utility companies due to major technical changes in the energy sector. It outlines how electricity is dominating other sources of energy production and how generation, storage, and demand are changing. This will require new company structures that are no longer vertically integrated monopolies. The document also notes there will be more disruption from technological breakthroughs in areas like solar, nuclear, and transmission technologies. It concludes that the 20th century model of large, vertically integrated utilities will struggle and there will be disaggregation and unbundling of assets as companies search for new cost-reflective structures.
Cpre 3.03.16
This document discusses the rationale for maintaining and enhancing the Green Belt around cities in the UK. It argues that natural capital, like the open spaces and woodlands provided by the Green Belt, needs to be located near population centers to provide multiple benefits. These benefits include improved air quality, health outcomes from access to leisure activities, and biodiversity protection. While some argue the Green Belt inhibits housing and economic growth, the document counters that brownfield sites and increased density can address housing needs, and that truly sustainable and resilient economic growth depends on maintaining natural capital. It concludes by envisioning how an enhanced Green Belt could better integrate access to green spaces and natural capital into urban living for current and future generations.
Flame 11.05.16
This document summarizes a presentation given by Professor Dieter Helm on the new energy world following the COP21 climate conference. It discusses how factors like the end of the commodity super cycle for oil and gas, the implementation of carbon constraints, and new technologies will impact key countries and energy companies. The presentation addresses how these changes may lead to a more electric-based future with higher standards for supply security and new players in the electricity sector like car companies and tech firms providing multiple sources of generation and storage.
Wec 24.01.17
This document discusses 3 major structural changes in global energy markets and their impacts. The changes are: 1) The end of the energy price super cycle as more oil comes online. 2) Slow progress on decarbonization efforts like the Kyoto and Paris agreements. 3) Rapid technological developments in areas like shale, renewables, energy storage, and electrification that are transforming the industry. The impacts discussed are falling oil prices pressuring North Sea production, decarbonization potentially closing the North Sea, and digitization changing electricity markets and challenging traditional business models.
Npf 18.01.17
This document outlines the key topics to be discussed regarding structural changes in global energy markets. The 3 big changes are: 1) The end of the energy super cycle of high oil prices. 2) Little progress on decarbonization despite Kyoto and Paris agreements. 3) Rapid technology changes like shale, renewables, energy storage, and more that are transforming energy generation and use. The geopolitical implications and impacts on companies and energy market designs will also be examined. Conclusions will address how decarbonization is unstoppable and technology will solve the carbon problem, transforming energy markets for 21st century companies.
Ip week 2017
This document discusses the challenges facing oil producers from declining oil prices in the long run due to factors like decarbonization and increasing renewable energy. It predicts that oil prices may gradually fall and stabilize around $50-60 per barrel. This will have economic consequences for major oil exporting countries as they become less reliant on oil revenues. National oil companies will need to transform and diversify their economies. International oil companies will also face challenges adapting to lower oil prices by increasing output or shifting operations. The future remains uncertain but many countries and companies will need to transition away from dependence on oil exports or production.
Plant sci 24.05.17
The document summarizes a plant science seminar at the University of Oxford on natural capital and sustainable economic growth. It discusses using an asset-based approach to view natural resources as capital that requires maintenance and enhancement. There are two proposed "natural capital rules" - keeping the stock of renewable resources constant and compensating for depletion of non-renewables. The document outlines accounting for natural capital assets, using economic rents from non-renewable depletion for investment in renewables, and funding major green infrastructure through taxes to support sustainable growth while maintaining natural capital.
Gfs 31.05.17 f
This document summarizes a presentation given by Professor Dieter Helm on the end of fossil fuels. It discusses two major game changers: 1) The permanent end of the energy price super cycle as supplies of oil, gas and coal are abundant. 2) New low-carbon technologies like solar, batteries, and electric vehicles will transform energy markets and make them dominated by electricity. This will have major geopolitical impacts and change the landscape of energy companies and markets. Decarbonization is now unstoppable and will require fundamental rethinking of energy and climate policies.
Budapest 30.05.17(1)
The document discusses several topics related to retail electricity prices and regulation:
1) Retail prices should follow the underlying costs of generating and delivering electricity to customers.
2) Future costs will be driven by digitalization, zero marginal cost renewables, and the need for capacity markets to ensure reliability.
3) Capacity markets will be needed to incentivize investment in gas and coal plants due to low and volatile wholesale prices caused by renewable energy growth and intermittency.
4) The electricity sector may start to resemble the broadband industry with decentralized infrastructure and new entrants in supply, transport, and other areas.
5) Regulation will need to establish a default tariff tied to wholesale prices, capacity constraints
Flame 10.05.17
Three fundamental game changers are described: 1) The end of the commodity super-cycle and falling oil prices which will likely continue due to new production and technologies; 2) Decarbonization through next generation renewable technologies; 3) Digitalization transforming demand and creating an electric-dominated system with many new entrants and business models. Corporate structures in oil, electricity, and gas will face disruption from these changes to business models.
Floodex video 17.05.17
This document outlines a proposed agenda to reform flood management in Britain. It discusses how the current system fails due to short-term financing for long-term problems and political expediency dominating planning. It argues that classifying areas as "most at risk" creates perverse incentives to build on flood plains. The document makes the case for a stand-alone flood management agency and introduces models for catchment system operators and natural capital accounting. It provides examples of best practices in Cumbria and coastal areas. The document concludes by calling for a long-term objective, integrated catchment plans, and a regulated asset base model to finance flood defenses.
Esri 16.05.17
The document summarizes several ways in which the conventional wisdom about energy markets and climate change has been wrong. It identifies 3 major game changers: 1) the end of the energy super cycle with oil prices stabilizing around $50/barrel, 2) real progress on decarbonization driven by technology and policies like China's urban pollution efforts rather than international agreements, and 3) revolutionary technologies like shale, renewables, energy storage, electric vehicles, and more that are transforming the energy landscape. It concludes that 2014 marked a break with the past and that the future will see a very different energy system driven by zero marginal cost power and digitalization.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Natural devon 6.04.17
- 1. NATURAL DEVON’S 2017 LECTURE Dieter Helm 6th April 2017 NATURAL CAPITAL & SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
- 2. QUESTIONS Why natural capital? Why is natural capital at the heart of the economy? Why is the environment key to sustainable economic growth? How does it work? What are the immediate opportunities? What could be achieved?
- 3. WHY NATURAL CAPITAL? All about assets and opportunities and capabilities Not simply about utility and immediate consumption The renewable natural capital is what counts For free, for ever, provided it remains above critical thresholds.
- 4. WHY IS NATURAL CAPITAL AT THE HEART OF THE ECONOMY? • Key production inputs – think what deprival would mean • Depletion and depreciation lowers future economic output • GDP is a really bad measure • Key implication: We are living well beyond our means… Current consumption is unsustainable … therefore it will not be sustained Think China and its devastated natural capital
- 5. WHY IS THE ENVIRONMENT KEY TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH? From 7 billion to 10-12 billion people by 2100 Air? Water? Food? Oceans? Space for Nature? 3-4% GDP growth consumption x16 by 2100 +2°C climate; -50% biodiversity by 2100
- 6. • Only used once • Optimal depletion rate • Treatment of economic rents • Taking externalities Renewables Non Renewables • Reproduced for ever at zero cost • Value open-ended • Thresholds define minimal • Benefits define optima Non Renewables Renewables HOW DOES IT WORK? What nature gives us for free
- 7. HOW WOULD IT APPLY TO EXMOOR? • Assets in perpetuity • Core infrastructure (including green infrastructure) • Capital maintenance • Revenue for capital maintenance • Economic rents for non-renewables • Tax and other renewables • Expenditure • New budget +ve/-ve
- 8. FUNDING FOR NATURAL CAPITAL Non Renewable Depletion Rents Natural Capital Fund Green Taxes Development Impacts Compensation Major Green Infrastructure Investment Stop The Decline Sustainable Economic Growth
- 9. WHAT ARE THE IMMEDIATE OPPORTUNITIES (AND RISKS)? • The 25 Year Environment Plan • The end of the CAP and BREXIT • The housing and infrastructure developments & the Housing White Paper • The Green Paper on industrial strategy and green infrastructure The National Ecosystem Assessment(2011) The Natural Environment White Paper (2011) The Conservative Manifesto (2015) The NCC’s third State of Natural Capital report (2015)
- 10. THE 25 YEAR ENVIRONMENT PLAN “to be the first generation to leave the natural environment in a better state than it inherited”
- 11. • The pioneers • Cumbria • Manchester • North Devon • Marine areas • The green paper… And then • The full 25 Year Plan white paper THE 25 YEAR ENVIRONMENT PLAN
- 12. THE END OF CAP • CAP is dead! Hooray! • But, long live the subsidies? • End Pillar I • Transfer Pillar II into “public money for public goods” • Focus on uplands & key natural assets Natural Capital Network Paper 5. British Agricultural Policy after BREXIT Dieter Helm Sep 2016
- 13. OTHER BITS OF BREXIT • Habitats and Birds and Water Framework Directive? • Chemical and air pollution? • Regulatory structure? • A new British Environment Policy and …. an EPA?
- 14. WHAT COULD BE ACHIEVED? Weak aggregate natural capital rule: The aggregate level of renewable natural capital should be kept at least constant, and there should be general capital compensation for the depletion of non- renewables. Strong aggregate natural capital rule: The aggregate level of renewable natural capital should be kept at least constant and the value of the economic rents from the depletion of non-renewable natural capital should be invested in renewable natural capital. The Nature fund Sustainable Economic Growth OR: Unsustainable continued decline
