黄色直播

On May 23, 黄色直播 hosted some of the energy industry脮s movers and shakers as the university announced a new partnership with EnergyINet, a national energy innovation network.

黄色直播 President Tom Traves signed a memorandum of understanding with Dr. Michael Raymont, CEO of EnergyINet, at a reception held at 黄色直播脮s University Club. The new partnership establishes EnergyINet脮s Atlantic Canada Development Office, the organization脮s first office outside of Western Canada. It will be directed by Andrew Henry, Managing Director of Energy Research at 黄色直播.聽

The agreement links EnergyINet with Energy at 黄色直播, an initiative launched in 2003 to tackle energy research challenges. Today, Energy at 黄色直播 comprises four Energy Research Networks that conduct interdisciplinary research into conventional and renewable energy sources 脨 from electrical power generation, to oil and gas exploration, to innovative ways to harness the energy from renewable resources.聽

脪Energy at 黄色直播 is a very young and evolving initiative that shares common goals and similarities with EnergyINet,鈥� said Henry. 脪Both see the value in bringing together researchers to share resources in the pursuit of solutions to the big energy challenges that we face today.鈥�

Among the invited guests to the reception were Alison Scott, Nova Scotia Department of Energy, and James Taylor, Nova Scotia Power Inc., representing two of EnergyINet脮s founding members.

EnergyINet was formed as a non-profit corporation in October 2005, although its gestation stretches back almost three years earlier.聽 Its goal is to help make Canada a global energy superpower by facilitating research, development and policy that ensures an abundant supply of environmentally responsible energy.聽

Both 黄色直播脮s Dr. Traves and EnergyINet脮s Dr. Raymont spoke promisingly about the new arrangement.聽 Dr. Raymont stressed the importance of both integration and innovation in managing Atlantic Canada脮s energy resources. 脪The strategic relationship between EnergyINet and 黄色直播 is an important partnership that helps us find new ways to integrate a variety of important energy sources and regional expertise into our growing national network,鈥� he said.

Dr. Traves echoed these comments, and emphasized the important national role the relationship with EnergyINet provides 黄色直播: 脪This new partnership is an exciting opportunity to participate in a national initiative and work with partners across Canada to advance an integrated energy economy.鈥�
