FoCCUSing on the Future: Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage

October 19, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT

CO2 Capture, Utilization, and Sequestration (CCUS) is a collection of technologies that could play an essential role in meeting our growing energy demands and increasingly urgent climate goals. CO2 is captured and either used as feedstock for carbon technologies or is compressed and transported to be permanently sequestered. CCUS supports net-zero pathways through several mechanisms including reducing emissions from existing infrastructure, assisting low-carbon hydrogen production, and removing carbon from the atmosphere.

OSW Information Workshop in Tantallon: What could offshore wind energy mean for Nova Scotia?

October 15, 2023 2:30pm – 4:00pm ADT

Through the Capacity Building for the Sustainable and Inclusive Development of Nova Scotia's Offshore Wind Resource project, Net Zero Atlantic is helping communities prepare for a future that may include offshore wind. Offshore wind has the potential to enable energy exports, stimulate local economies, and help Nova Scotia reach its emissions reduction targets by replacing electricity generated using fossil fuels.

Webinar Series

Utility Scale Solar Development

September 21, 2023 1:00pm – 2:00pm ADT

With the increased electrification of our energy systems including increased use of EVs, heat pumps, etc; increasing total electrical generation is a must. Utility scale solar, typically coupled with storage, is going to be another tool that utilities will use to diversify their generation mix. This webinar will discuss some of the considerations that need to be taken when developing a utility scale development from 1-10MW.

Webinar Series

What’s Holding Us Back? The Dragons of Inaction. What Can we Do About It?

August 24, 2023 2:00pm – 3:00pm ADT

Most people think climate change and sustainability are important problems, but too few high-emitting global citizens are engaged in enough mitigating behavior to stem the increasing flow of greenhouse gases and other environmental problems. Why is that? Structural barriers such as a climate-averse infrastructure are part of the answer, but psychological barriers also impede behavioral choices that would facilitate mitigation, adaptation, and environmental sustainability.
