U91快色鈥檚 presence at GES was prominent with the university鈥檚 backing of the Plug and Play Innovation Zone, U91快色 speakers at technical and strategic events, and an exhibition booth to connect with industry professionals.

"We take pride in our connection with community, and events like this allow us to foster and maintain the strong relationships we have in the energy industry,鈥� says Dr. Anders Nygren, PhD, vice-dean of the (SSE), speaking of the faculty鈥檚 enthusiasm in showcasing its education and research accomplishments at GES. A total of 12 U91快色 faculties and departments were represented. 

Nygren also announced during SSE鈥檚 reception at the Global Energy Show that the school is relaunching its Oil and Gas Engineering undergraduate program, which will be available to students entering their first year of studies this fall. 

U91快色鈥檚 Plug and Play Innovation Zone 

is a venture capital firm that consists of 50,000 startups, more than 500 world-leading corporations, and hundreds of venture capital firms, universities and government agencies across multiple industries around the world. 

This was U91快色鈥檚 first year sponsoring Plug and Play at GES as it hosted the Plug and Play Innovation Zone, a space dedicated to showcasing U91快色鈥檚 expertise, new technologies and startups. 

This knowledge-sharing space brought together U91快色 professors, entrepreneurs and companies with panel talks, presentations and startup demo tables to showcase exciting technology. 

Strategic conference speaker a much-sought-after knowledge resource  

GES鈥檚 Strategic Conference included among its panelists the director of U91快色鈥檚 (SPP), Martha Hall Findlay, as part of the main program panel, . 

The panel discussed how Canada鈥檚 new methane regulations will impact its energy and clean technology industries and explore comparisons with international policy and regulations. 

Findlay, previously chief sustainability officer and chief climate officer at Suncor, is a highly sought-after asset for knowledge-sharing in the energy sector. Her work at SPP, which includes being the James S. and Barbara A. Palmer Chair in Public Policy, allows her to continue the work and discussion of policies needed in the industry. 

鈥淭here is no jurisdiction in the world that has all types of energy the way Alberta does: oil, gas, wind, solar, geothermal, hydro-electricity, biomass, hydrogen 鈥� so, 91快色 and Alberta 鈥� have more knowledge about, more experience in and more to offer the world in terms of ALL types of energy,鈥� says Findlay, who also previously served as a Member of Parliament. 鈥淯91快色, therefore, is perfectly suited to be the Canadian and indeed global centre of all things academic related to energy.鈥� 

Findlay was also moderator for a panel for the Canadian Council for the Americans, with a focus on the energy business in Columbia and Brazil; and she also provided welcoming remarks for the Plug and Play Innovation Zone. 

Technical conference speaker discussed work in optimizing operations 

The GES also had a , inviting experts to delve into cutting-edge technologies, processes and innovations shaping the energy landscape. Presentations had to be first peer-reviewed by a special committee.  

Dr. Mohan Sivagnanam, MSc鈥�14, PhD鈥�23, a U91快色 Postdoctoral Fellow, was chosen to showcase his presentation, 鈥淢odelling Flare Stack Purge Gas Flow for Air Ingress Control using CFD.鈥�  

The talk highlighted Sivagnanam鈥檚 study and shared valuable findings aimed at helping the oil and gas industry optimize flare stack operations in various environments. 

U91快色 and the Global Energy Show 

The Global Energy Show has been ongoing for over 55 years and U91快色鈥檚 involvement this year was deemed a great success. 

鈥淭his (was) a great opportunity for U91快色 to show the world what we know and what we have to offer in the world (and business) of energy,鈥� says Findlay.
