Feasibility Assessment: Proposed B.C. LNG Facilities and Renewable PowerClean Energy Canada
Navius Research Inc. and Steve Davis & Associates produced a conceptual design for powering the LNG terminal on the North Coast that would maximize renewables at its production facility and do so reliably, affordably and on schedule—using established commercial technologies. Further, doing so reduces that plant’s carbon pollution by 45 percent, its air emissions - nitrogen oxides - by 70 percent and increases local permanent jobs by 40 percent. The cost for all these benefits? A 1 percent increase in projected sales price of the LNG.

Sue is a past chair of the North West Coastal Forum, is currently part of the small team that acts as secretariat of the Irish Sea Maritime Forum and has recently taken up the role of Sea and Society lead for the new Liverpool Institute for Sustainable Coasts and Oceans.
Cross-border Marine Planning in the North West: Challenges & Opportunities
After years of stakeholder lobbying we have reached an exciting stage in the development of marine planning in the UK with all administrations busy rolling out their first wave of marine plans. This presentation will start by highlighting the historic significance of this work and by providing an overview of the current position on marine planning in each of the four devolved UK administrations. It will then consider the challenges and opportunities for cross-border marine planning with particular reference to the North West of England which shares some of the complexities that face marine planning in the Severn Estuary. Challenges that will be explored include complex institutional arrangements, ongoing financial restraint, development trends and the uncertain implications of Brexit. However the talk will emphasise the opportunities for delivering more integrated planning and management of our marine and coastal areas that exist and the role that coastal partnerships can play in realising these.

Bill Cooper - ABP MER
Severn Tidal Power Resource
Bill Cooper is Managing Director of ABP Marine Environmental Research. Bill has over 26 years of practical experience in coastal projects since he graduated from Swansea University where he obtained his first degree in Oceanography. Bill has previously worked at the Tidal Waters Unit of Welsh Water and for an engineering consultancy based in South Wales. Since 2004, Bill has contributed to a variety of marine renewable energy projects, ranging from development of standards and guidance, strategic scale studies for UK Government, to major infrastructure projects like the Severn Tidal Power schemes and also local developments such as the Swansea Bay Tidal lagoon.
This presentation aims to provide an objective overview of the Severn Tidal Power Resource, as a personal examination and without prejudice. An explanation is offered as to why the resource in the Severn is so unique in contrast to other UK estuaries and why some of these properties present issues of their own. The presentation highlights some of the implications of harvesting the resource and interest features that may be involved.

The Severn Estuary Forum is a key annual event in its eighth year and hosted by the Severn Estuary Partnership: an independent, estuary-wide initiative, involving all those interested in the management of the estuary, from planners to port authorities, fishermen to farmers.
This year’s Forum was opened by the Lord Mayor of Gloucester and supported by CIWEM. It focussed on a number of diverse topics, including the upper estuary; renewable energy possibilities; a review of the Severn Estuary Flood Risk Management Strategy; an overview of the operations and maintenance of the Severn River Crossings; Local Enterprise Partnerships; The Bristol Deep Sea Container Terminal; proposals for a Severnside Airport and Fisheries amongst others.
These engaging and exciting events are intended for all interested in learning about the latest research and policy developments dealing with the Severn Estuary and its future, and always guarantee a lively and informative day of presentations and talks. They offer a unique opportunity to learn from others, share ideas and participate in the management of the Severn Estuary.

Why Sustainable Severn - Johnny Gowdy, Regen - Sustainable Severn Forum 2017Sustainable Severn
Sustainable Severn Forum - 27th April 2017.
As the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary become the focus for new energy including tidal lagoons and Hinckley C, the estuary is entering a period of radical change.
Building on the themes from the previous two forums of energy, environment and economy, this conference will consider how we can deliver new energy projects in balance with the environment and the economy. www.sustainablesevern.co.uk

6. An Incremental Approach
Stepping Stones – a tidal lagoon designed to reduce cost and impact.
Objectives
• To demonstrate that tidal power can be generated from the Severn Estuary with acceptable
cost, environmental and social impacts and build UK confidence in ocean energy
• To be informed by the Severn Tidal Power Feasibility Study research and add to that
research base through full scale demonstration
• To be financeable in the private sector but developed in partnership with the public sector
Constraints
• Should not compromise future development of the short listed options in the Severn Tidal
Power Feasibility Study
• Should not impact Severnside Ports
• Should not involve significant habitat and ecological loss
• Should be competitive with offshore wind in the long term

A new concept for the Severn
8. Key Details
Technical Data
• 600MW of installed capacity (bulb turbines operating on ebb and flood tides)
• 1.2TWh per year of energy production
• £1.7bn construction cost (built up using same principles as STP)
• Lagoon surface area: 18sq km
• Length of lagoon impoundment: 10.6km
• Construction Period: 4 years (preceded by 5 years in planning/consents)
• Largest tidal power plant in the world
• Cost of Energy @ 10% (including construction + decommissioning costs)
• Financing period (30 years): £193/MWh or £160/MWh @ 2% inflation (based on ratio of
cost to energy over the period)
• Residual operating life (90 years): £30/MWh, (or less in real terms as ratio of cost to
energy will reduce with inflation)

12. Environmental considerations are important
Key Points
• Ebb and flood operation and lagoon site - loss of habitats minimised;
• Avoids rivers that are important for migratory fish;
• Avoids direct loss of internationally designated habitats although there is some impact on
East Aberthaw SSSI;
• The scheme does not enclose the mouth of the estuary and hence impacts on ports,
navigation and the famous tidal ‘bore’ are small;
• The size of the lagoon means that material ‘far-field’ effects on water levels are unlikely;
• The risk of water quality effects within the lagoon, already identified as small in STP
studies, will be reduced further because the lagoon does not enclose any major outfalls or
rivers;
• Aberthaw PS outfall adjacent to the lagoon will require detailed study
• Sea bed conditions known so uncertainty issues of deep silt/mud are much lower project
risk

13. Potential Regional Economics Benefits
Key Points
• Severnside Ports and other commercial sea-bed users are not expected to be adversely
impacted;
• Existing technology = low risk and ready to go...
• 4,000 jobs created (of which 2,000 would be local construction jobs) over the 4 year
construction period with a further 1,800 of associated indirect jobs in the local community
• 80 permanent jobs would be created to operate the new power station
• As the largest tidal power plant in the world, tourism and educational opportunities would
be created
• Over 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions would be saved annually
• Potential to replicate in other locations
• Positions UK as global hub for ocean energy and green investment
• Able to contribute off peak energy in alignment with smart grid for distribute storage/electric
vehicle charging et al, as that market develops
