The theme for the 19th annual meeting of the ONS is ” Energy for more people.” The challenge is as difficult as it is obvious: How to meet world energy demands while we reducing and phasing out fossil fuels and polluting oil?
On Monday, Bellona will host a seminar at the Customs Hall in Stavanger dealing with risks and challenges of oil production in Norway and the rest of the world in light of the BP Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico this spring – the largest accidental oil spill in history.
Among the speakers are Peter Lehner, general manager of the Natural Resources Defense Council , who will talk about the experience of the Deepwater Horizon and US climate and energy policy.
ExproSoft Senior Adviser Per Holand will catalogue and explain offshore oil blowouts worldwide from 1980 to 2007, and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, Norway’s Marine Research Institute and Bellona will together describe the consequences of oil spills in the vulnerable area from Røst to Nordkapp.
Bellona President Frederic Hauge , will also talk about how to go from black oil to a green the desert via the Sahara Forest Project.
Bellona will also be present with its own stand in the Renewable Energy Park in the exhibition area of the conference, and Thursday Bellona’s Paal Frisvold and Tone Knudsen will hold presentations at the so-called Centre Court. The titles of their talks will be, respectively, “From demonstration to commercialization” and “Carbon Negative – the Bridge Over to the New Energy Future.”
