The global pursuit of net zero is positioning Newfoundland and Labrador to be a significant contributor to emissions reductions around the world.
Join us on October 20, 2022 to hear about the latest developments for Newfoundland and Labrador related to renewable energy, hydrogen, mining, waste management, and emissions reductions in the offshore.
This is the best opportunity of the year to network with clean technology and environmental services stakeholders in industry, government, and academia.
The econext 2022 conference will feature panel discussions with decision-makers and industry leaders on the following topics as they relate specifically to Newfoundland and Labrador (NL):
In December of 2021, the Government of NL released its renewable energy plan. In this session hear from key decision makers on the progress that has been achieved since December – and what the next steps are in helping NL reach its renewable energy potential.
NL has the potential to become a first-mover and global leader in the production of green hydrogen on a substantial scale. In this session, hear from a panel of prospective developers on what they see as being opportunities for the production and export of green hydrogen from NL.
This session will provide attendees with an update on offshore wind development in Atlantic Canada from two perspectives. Industry representatives will give an overview of the advancements they are seeing on the ground, while the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada will provide an update on the regional assessment that is being developed for the region.
A global energy transition will demand the production of more raw materials for wind turbines, batteries, and other clean energy technologies. NL is home to many of the minerals required, and thus presents an opportunity for economic growth for the province. This session asks two questions: how do we reduce the environmental impact of our industry today, and how do we balance future industrial development with the pursuit of net zero?
NL faces significant challenges in the management of its waste – the primary obstacle being economies of scale. In this session, hear about the progress has been achieved in the province through 2022 in exploring new innovative approaches to dealing with waste streams – as well as new initiatives and new companies that are already at work!
In this session led by The Net Zero Project, you will hear about the results of work undertaken through 2021-2022 to outline net zero pathways for NL’s offshore industry, the role that carbon offsets will play in that pursuit, and the importance of digitalization and technology.
