DESCRIPTION:A Framework for Evaluating and Guiding Ocean Energy Technology Developments: Presentation of the OES Framework and Application\n\n\n\nWednesday 27th September\, 2023\n4pm – 5:30pm (AEST) \n\n\nThe International Energy Agency (IEA) Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Technology Collaboration Programme published an international Evaluation and Guidance Framework for Ocean Energy Technology. The document intends to support international efforts by presenting a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity\, ensuring that decision-makers have consistent information available to them. \nInternational acceptance of a common approach to technology development and evaluation brings the following benefits: \n\nClarity in the expectations from different stakeholders during each stage of development\, bringing clearer communication.\nConsistency in the use of terminology\, and the process to evaluate technology\, ensuring a level playing field.\nStakeholders working together to build confidence and transparency in the sector.\nEfficient decision-making processes promoting direction of funding to the technologies with highest chances of commercial success.\nTechnology development processes consistent across the world\, leading to more international collaboration more globally transferrable technology.\nConsistent and coordinated application of other sources of technical guidance available in the ocean energy sector.\n\nThe framework applies to wave and tidal stream technologies\, but future versions will be expanded to other forms of ocean energy. \nThe invited presentations and speakers will provide: \n\nInformation about the IEA-OES Technology Collaboration Programme;\nThe objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework\, and the experience of national and international funders in its adoption.\nAn application of the framework in the development of Carnegie Clean Energy’s CETO technology toward commercialisation in the EuropeWave programme.\n\nPresentation 1: About the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Technology Collaboration Programme Presented by Professor Irene Penesis \nOcean Energy Systems (OES) is the short name for the Technology Collaboration Programme on Ocean Energy Systems\, an intergovernmental collaboration between countries\, founded in 2001\, which operates under a framework established by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. \nEstablished in 1974\, the International Energy Agency (IEA) carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation for its 29 member countries and beyond by examining the full spectrum of energy issues and advocating policies that will enhance energy security\, economic development\, environmental awareness and engagement worldwide. \nThe Blue Economy CRC is the member representing Australia. Professor Irene Penesis is the Australian Primary Delegate\, and Professor Christophe Gaudin (from University of Western Australia) is the Alternate Delegate. \nPresentation 2: Objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework presented by Jonathan Hodges \nIn this talk\, Jonathan Hodges will introduce the objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework\, including the updates soon to be released in a 2nd Edition. He will discuss the background of its production and share the experiences of national and international funders and their adoption of its recommendations in ocean energy funding programmes. \nPresentation 3: Development of the CETO technology toward commercialisation in the framework of the EuropeWave programme presented by Dr Alexandre Pichard \nCarnegie is the owner and developer of the CETO technology\, which captures energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. We use the latest advances in artificial intelligence and electric machines to optimally control the device and generate electricity in the most efficient way possible. \nWe have a long history in ocean energy with a track record of world leading developments. We are using a staged approach to our technology development to minimise risk and cost along the pathway. The OES framework provides valuable guidance around the logical development steps and the associated evaluation criteria. It provides a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity \nCarnegie has been selected to progress the development of the CETO technology toward commercialisation in the framework of the EuropeWave programme. EuropeWave is an innovative R&D programme combining almost €20 million of national\, regional and EU funding to drive a competitive Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) programme for wave energy technology. The presentation will highly how Carnegie has been applying the OES framework withing the context of the EuropeWave programme. \nThe webinar will be facilitated by Professor Irene Penesis and presentations will be followed by Q&A.

SUMMARY:Australia Hydrogen Day – 5th (Inter)National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day
DESCRIPTION:On the 8th of October\, as the world marvels at the significance of the number 1.008 – the atomic weight of Hydrogen – we in Australia celebrate our vision\, our commitment\, and our journey in leading the hydrogen revolution. \nIn 2015\, the United States lit the beacon\, marking the inauguration of the National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day. Four years later\, in 2019\, Innovate Australia picked up that mantle\, pioneering the first Australian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day under its Hydrogen Society of Australia program. An initiative that blazed its own trail\, becoming an independent entity and taking the solemn pledge to organize and champion the October 8th events year after year. \nWith the collective passion and dedication of the Hydrogen Society of Australia\, Innovate Australia\, and Murdoch University\, our commitment to the hydrogen future shines even more luminously. \nOur national ambition is crystal clear: by 2030\, we envision Australia not merely as a participant but as a beacon of leadership in the hydrogen domain. We’re dreamers with blueprints in hand. Our strategies are adaptive\, innovative\, and tangible. Our hydrogen hubs are the crucibles of transformation\, breeding innovation and synergizing our various energy sectors. And at the core of it all is an unwavering commitment to safety\, sustainability\, and shared prosperity. \nBut this isn’t just Australia’s narrative; it’s penned by every individual. We’re crafting a future where every Australian is a part of this luminous tale – from the metropolises to the heart of our regions. An industry that pledges growth\, job opportunities\, and a verdant\, cleaner environment awaits us. \nThis October 8th\, join us in this grand chapter. Celebrate the strides we’ve taken\, the milestones achieved\, and the limitless horizons that beckon. Together\, let’s write the future. Together\, let’s fuel a greener\, brighter tomorrow. \nAustralia Hydrogen Day – Where history\, science\, and promise converge. \n\n\n\n\nFive years ago Hydrogen Society of Australia brought the event Down Under\, making it Australia’s first (Inter)National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day and the very first October 8th official celebration outside the United States.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Ethics & Social Licence in the Blue Economy
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss ethics\, integrity and social acceptance in the Blue Economy\, delving into the nature of ‘integrity systems’ and their importance along with exploring the social license to operate.\n\n\n\nSocial license to operate in itself can have different meanings to different people and can be used in ways that are ethically constructive or ethically problematic. \nPresentation 1: Ethics and integrity in the Blue Economy\nPresented by: Professor Charles Sampford\, IEGL Director: Institute for Ethics\, Governance & Law\, Griffith University \nThis presentation will discuss the nature of ethics and integrity for individuals\, institutions\, profit-seeking enterprises\, and overall systems\, emphasizing the importance of ‘integrity systems’. An integrity system is the sum total of all elements in a system\, including laws\, incentives\, standards\, institutions and ethical norms. These elements\, and their relations and interactions\, shape behaviour and deliver outcomes. The system has integrity if it delivers on its promise: on the values that justify it. A Blue Economy integrity system is therefore made up of the ethical norms\, laws\, organisations\, and market forces in the marine industry space that determine whether the system will live up to the high ideals it seeks to achieve. \nPresentation 2: Social licence in the Blue Economy\nPresented by: Dr Hugh Breakey\, Senior Research Fellow: Institute for Ethics\, Governance & Law\, Griffith University \nThe social license to operate (SLO) is an ambiguous term and a challenging feature of many contemporary industries\, including Blue Economy industries. This presentation will discuss different ways of understanding the SLO\, through definitions\, analogies\, and its absence. It will explore how the SLO can work (or fail to work) in different cases as an ethical tool\, activist weapon\, corporate shield\, or empty buzzword. It will describe four different strategies that give rise to different types of SLO (Genuine SLO; Strategic SLO\, Tick-box SLO; and Default SLO)\, each with different risk profiles.

SUMMARY:BRII Workplace Relations Usability Challenge webinar
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar speakers will explain the BRII Workplace Relations Usability Challenge\, provide an overview of the BRII program and application process\, and answer participant questions. A recording of the webinar will be made available on business.gov.au following the event.\n\n\n\n\nOverview\n\nThe Australian Government is seeking innovative technology solutions to support engagement with modern awards. This grant opportunity will focus specifically on making it easier for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to find\, navigate\, and utilise modern awards. \nAs part of this challenge grantees are required to utilise the Fair Work Commission’s Modern Award Pay Database (MAPD) to ensure up-to-date information on modern awards minimum rates of pay\, allowances\, overtime and penalty rates data is integrated in the final solution. The Fair Work Commission has released an application programming interface (API) that grantees could consider using in their design solution. Grantees must use the MAPD\, but they may also use data from other sources. Challenge participants must have regard to the Fair Work Commission’s MAPD Disclaimer available on the Fair Work Commission website and the MAPD API terms of use and important information statement when using these data sources. \nThe challenge for supporting the implementation of the Workplace Relations Usability Feasibility grant opportunity is “Using technology to improve the user experience of SMEs engaging with modern awards”.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Framework for Evaluating and Guiding Ocean Energy Technology Developments
DESCRIPTION:The International Energy Agency (IEA) Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Technology Collaboration Programme published an International Evaluation and Guidance Framework for Ocean Energy Technology. The document intends to support international efforts by presenting a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity\, ensuring that decision-makers have consistent information available to them. \nInternational acceptance of a common approach to technology development and evaluation brings the following benefits: \n\nClarity in the expectations from different stakeholders during each stage of development\, bringing clearer communication.\nConsistency in the use of terminology\, and the process to evaluate technology\, ensuring a level playing field.\nStakeholders working together to build confidence and transparency in the sector.\nEfficient decision-making processes promoting direction of funding to the technologies with highest chances of commercial success.\nTechnology development processes consistent across the world\, leading to more international collaboration more globally transferrable technology.\nConsistent and coordinated application of other sources of technical guidance available in the ocean energy sector.\n\nThe framework applies to wave and tidal stream technologies\, but future versions will be expanded to other forms of ocean energy. \nThe invited presentations and speakers will provide: \n\nInformation about the IEA-OES Technology Collaboration Programme;\nThe objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework\, and the experience of national and international funders in its adoption.\nAn application of the framework in the development of Carnegie Clean Energy’s CETO technology toward commercialisation in the EuropeWave programme.\n\nPresentation 1: About the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) Technology Collaboration Programme Presented by Professor Irene Penesis \nOcean Energy Systems (OES) is the short name for the Technology Collaboration Programme on Ocean Energy Systems\, an intergovernmental collaboration between countries\, founded in 2001\, which operates under a framework established by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris. \nEstablished in 1974\, the International Energy Agency (IEA) carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation for its 29 member countries and beyond by examining the full spectrum of energy issues and advocating policies that will enhance energy security\, economic development\, environmental awareness and engagement worldwide. \nThe Blue Economy CRC is the member representing Australia. Professor Irene Penesis is the Australian Primary Delegate\, and Professor Christophe Gaudin (from University of Western Australia) is the Alternate Delegate. \nPresentation 2: Objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework presented by Jonathan Hodges \nIn this talk\, Jonathan Hodges will introduce the objectives\, content and benefits of the IEA-OES Evaluation and Guidance Framework\, including the updates soon to be released in a 2nd Edition. He will discuss the background of its production and share the experiences of national and international funders and their adoption of its recommendations in ocean energy funding programmes. \nPresentation 3: Development of the CETO technology toward commercialisation in the framework of the EuropeWave programme presented by Dr Alexandre Pichard \nCarnegie is the owner and developer of the CETO technology\, which captures energy from ocean waves and converts it into electricity. We use the latest advances in artificial intelligence and electric machines to optimally control the device and generate electricity in the most efficient way possible. \nWe have a long history in ocean energy with a track record of world leading developments. We are using a staged approach to our technology development to minimise risk and cost along the pathway. The OES framework provides valuable guidance around the logical development steps and the associated evaluation criteria. It provides a framework for technology evaluation and guidance of engineering activity \nCarnegie has been selected to progress the development of the CETO technology toward commercialisation in the framework of the EuropeWave programme. EuropeWave is an innovative R&D programme combining almost €20 million of national\, regional and EU funding to drive a competitive Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) programme for wave energy technology. The presentation will highly how Carnegie has been applying the OES framework withing the context of the EuropeWave programme. \nThe webinar will be facilitated by Professor Irene Penesis and presentations will be followed by Q&A.
