09:45, J. Hemsath, Observations from the IPY Arctic Energy Summit and a Report on the Development for the Arctic Energy Action Team.
On 15 October 2007, the Techonlogy Conference of the Arctic Energy Summit was convened in Anchorage, Alaska. Over 300 delegates representing 14 nations, including 8 arctic nations met over 4 days in a technology transfer event. Papers spanned the entire arctic energy field in the following areas: Extractive energy (oil, gas, coal bed methane, gas hydrates), Renewable energy (wind, hydro, geothermal, biomass), Rural energy (planning, effciency, diesel generation, renewable) and Sustainablility (environmental response, infrastructure, economics, human resource development, socio-economic impacts). The Arctic Energy Summit is an International Polar year project, sanctioned by the Arctic Council to focus specifically on the Arctic as an emerging energy province. Presentations covered the spectrum from Spill recovery in Broken Ice to the Development of Arctic Gas Hydrates. In addition to the technical presentations eight panel sessions were conducted to begin discussion on key areas in energy development: Policy, Human Resources, Rural Concerns, Transportation, Environment, Infrastructure, Impacts on teh People of the North, Security.
This report will present a summary of the conference with special attention to the eight panel sessions that were conducted during the conference period. In addition the Arctic Energy Action Team will be introduced.Organized at the conclusion of the conference, the Action Team is a poly-functional virtual team convened to develop solutions to three specific Arctic energy challenges to the development of the Arctic as an energy province - extractive energy, rural energy and renewable energy. For each of the three challenges a serise of scenarios will be developed, including policy case studies that will lead to a strategic business plan. In addition to the development of a technology plan, each of the eight functional areas developed in the conference penel sessions will be addressed to assure a balanced plan. The Arctic Team will rely heavily on scenario planning and technology roadmaps to identify critical leverage points and develop a business plan. Results of the Arctic Team will be presented to the Arctic Council in 2009.
