THE EVENT FOR MUNICIPALITIES, UTILITIES, ENERGY PROVIDERS, ENERGY PLANNERS, SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS & INNOVATORS
April 25-26, 2022 | Halifax
Plan to attend the 18th annual Smart Energy Event, taking place in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Smart Energy 2022 will focus on key actions for getting to NET-ZERO with expert speakers on how collaborative and inclusive technologies with collaborative thinking can achieve Net-Zero sooner. Emerging innovations in hydrogen, storage, EVs, carbon capture, transportation, electrification and renewables will change how utilities, municipalities, policy-makers, integrators, corporations, governments, researchers and consumers collaborate to reach an inclusive transition to NET-ZERO.
Smart Energy Event 2022 will be offered as a hybrid conference. Delegates can decide to attend live or virtually.
First place: $40,000 CAD
Runner up: $10,000 CAD Application Deadline: March 30, 2022
Sponsored by Imperial Oil Limited (Imperial) and organized by the Consulate General of Canada in Seattle together with the CleanTech Alliance, this virtual event will showcase innovative technologies applicable to oil sands mining operations.
Imperial provides energy solutions in a way that helps protect people, the environment, and the communities where we operate, including addressing the risks of climate change. Technology and innovation are fundamental to unlocking the potential of Canada’s energy resources. For more than a century, Imperial has been investing in research, including at our Sarnia and Calgary research centres, to enhance environmental performance, production efficiency and product quality.

The time is now to light a fire under the energy transition in the Caribbean. The time is now to reconvene the regional energy market in-person at CREF 2022 in Miami.
The focus? On inspiring action by bringing the full ecosystem of policy-makers, regulators, utilities, investors, developers and financiers together in an environment which encourages the market to meet, originate and transact. Expect a cutting-edge agenda and a reconfigured meeting space all designed with one thought in mind: How do we get the energy transition over the finish line?
Some issues are perennial – the need for regulators to take the helm, for example, and the dearth of bankable projects – while others are new to the table. What role will Green Hydrogen come to play in the regional economy? Can we now scale up e-mobility programs and infrastructure across the region? Has Covid accelerated the shift to DG in the region? We’ll be tackling all this and much, much more over the course of CREF 2022.
Expect challenges to be resolved. Expect projects to be originated. Expect the market to be out in force. Expect CREF 2022 to make a difference. We invite you to join us.
10:30 am – 11:30 am NDT / 10:00 am – 11:00 am AST / 9:00 am – 10:00 am EST

One of the mandates of the Mining Innovation and Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) Network is to provide access to leverage funding for high-impact innovative clean technologies within one of the following four technical themes:
Increase Mine Production Capacity, at Lower Cost.
Reduce Mining Energy Consumption and GHG Emissions.
Implement Smart, Autonomous Mining Systems.
Reduce Environmental Risk and Long-Term Liabilities.
The investment in the projects is to advance made-in-Canada solutions, commercialize new, late-stage, high impact mining technologies and accelerate the number and scale of SMEs engaged in mining. MICA is led by The Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) of which Newfoundland and Labrador’s College of the North Atlantic is a partner.
econext is seeking input from municipalities across Newfoundland and Labrador to help it build a list of climate change actions that they are hoping to pursue.
These actions can range from climate change mitigation projects (e.g., initiatives that help decrease greenhouse gas emissions) to adaptation projects (e.g., infrastructure improvements to protect from changing weather conditions) to other environmental projects such as wastewater treatment and waste management.
With more information from municipalities on their climate action priorities, econext can work more proactively and deliberately to support them on a one-on-one basis to pursue partnerships and funding.
Interested municipalities are asked to fill out the survey via the link below. Questions about this initiative can be sent to econext‘s Executive Director, Kieran Hanley, at kieran@econext.ca.
Canada’s oil and gas sector has ambitious targets to reduce emissions and be a global leader in producing clean hydrocarbons for energy and other uses.
Clean technology companies across the country, internationally and on academic campuses may have little direct experience with the regionally concentrated oil and gas sector. This creates a technical and cultural communications gap that can make collaboration challenging.
Similarly, young professionals outside of oil and gas are not aware of the extent and pace of innovation within the oil and gas sector, or of the opportunities for material beneficial environmental impact through professional work focused on the oil and gas sector.
Canada Cleantech Alliance’s “Accelerating Cleantech Innovation in Oil & Gas” program, a collaboration with the Clean Resource Innovation Network (CRIN), is designed to de-risk investments in clean technology for oil & gas companies. It will mobilize and support cleantech innovators to deliver and successfully commercialize innovations that can reduce the oil & gas sector’s emissions and footprint from source to end use.
The program consists of six components:
January 2022: Program launch
January/February 2022: Application period for cleantech companies with solutions (TRL 2-5) in one or more of CRIN’s seven Technology Theme Areas. Apply here.
March 2022: Innovation in oil & gas training for selected ventures (in collaboration with Foresight Canada)
April 2022: Pitch Training for short-listed ventures (in collaboration with Cycle Momentum)
April 2022: Pitch Session
May 2022: Mentorship Program launch (in collaboration with Foresight Canada)
15 – 17 March 2022 | London, Excel

Discover the steps you can take to secure your first pilot customer.
About the Workshop
In this virtual workshop led by Eric Siegel, we will discuss how you can secure your first pilot customer for your ocean business. The session will help you determine which customers will make good pilot partners and which you should steer away from. You will be given tools to develop customer commitment and understand what value you should expect to receive from a pilot. We will address common terms of engagement for pilots, how you can develop letters of intent (LOIs), and some tactics to convert pilots into more sales.
