Energy Minister to meet political, business and investment leaders in London
Edmonton… Advancing research and development of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies will highlight Energy Minister Mel Knight’s trip to London, England October 25-31.
While in London, the Minister will participate in a joint Alberta, Norway and United Kingdom CCS workshop hosted by the Canadian High Commission. “Developing CCS technologies will be instrumental in addressing economic and environmental challenges in the 21st century” Knight said. “Alberta is taking unprecedented steps to advance commercial-scale CCS technologies, but there is still a lot that we can learn by sharing advancements by industry and research agencies from around the world.”
In addition to the workshop, the Minister will meet with Norway’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. Other meetings are scheduled with the President of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, leading British investment banks, and the England-based Carbon Disclosure Project.
“Alberta is taking action to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions,” Knight added, “and I am proud to take that message to the international community.” Knight will be joined by his executive assistant for the trip, which is estimated to cost approximately $16,250.
