Canada: An innovation deficit?
Globally:
•Public energy R&D funding has fallen by up to 50% in real terms in major developed countries over the last 25 years.
•Energy R&D as a share of total R&D in OECD countries declined from 11% in 1985 to 3% in 2005.
•CNPC/Shell >1B$ R&D 2010
Nationall
y:
•Canadian business R&D declined by 20% between 2001 and 2007 (consistently below the OECD average).
By Sector in Cda (2007):
•0.2%-0.7% for Canadian Energy Companies
•0.5%-2.4% for other resource companies
•0.9% to 23% for Canadian techno-centric companies

Key Learnings from Silicon Valley• High idea volume needed• Disruptive approaches• Rapid prototyping(piloting) and
iteration(key to biology and IT)• Risk taking• Expectation and acceptance of failure in
many projects• Openness about success of existing
technology!

1. Integrate Canada’s fossil fuel energy research community to enable a practical response to national GHG reduction targets.
2. Create transformative technologies and societal changes to enable the reduction of GHG emissions from the production of fossil fuel energy
3. Produce a trained cadre of technical and social scientists, engineers and technologists for the development and deployment of solution technologies

Effecting culture change in the innovation community (long term plan!)
• Raise Ambition• Increase Scale of Research Targets• Change nature of HQP workforce(more
PhD, postdocs, technicians)• Increased focus on actual technological
outputs and deployments• Much greater engagement of industry and
academia• Bring in other technical communities
![Page 32: Carbon Management Canada- an update. Richard Adamson (Managing Director) Steve Larter (Scientific Director) Changing How Canada Innovates](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc05503460f94ab48ca/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Round 2 Process• Call for proposals• Pre-proposal review by email• Proposals received• RMCX withdrew 6 proposals as non compliant or
inappropriate• All remaining proposals sent for international
review• Reviews sent to RMC• RMC reviewed all proposals submitted and
graded all• During individual project review all conflicted
individuals were absent from the room• Review process monitored by NCE representative

Structural Issues Identified
–Academic model issues–Industrial coFunding level issues
–Innovation process issues –Inter university communication issues
![Page 34: Carbon Management Canada- an update. Richard Adamson (Managing Director) Steve Larter (Scientific Director) Changing How Canada Innovates](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062716/56649dc05503460f94ab48ca/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Some general issues
– Academic model Issues(many lone PI “traditional” proposals still with an over emphasis on Masters students-DG model).
– Industrial coFunding level issues(few significant industrial cofunders and many applicants seem reluctant to pursue funds while industry is less than proactive in supporting in some cases).
– Innovation process issues(need to develop a stronger innovation culture in Canadian Universities and business)
– Inter university communication and inefficiency issues

CCS Field Research and Training Site for CCS measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV)
• Don Lawton
• Initially proposed to be developed on University of Calgary land near Priddis, Alberta.
• Geological model and CO2 storage simulation research completed in the fall of 2010.
• Site proposal withdrawn in Feb. 2011 due to land-use concerns from land donors.
• Alternative sites are currently under review with advanced discussions with the most promising being proximal to Project Pioneer.

Key areas for future activity–Research–Technology development–Education / development of Highly Qualified People
–Outreach-Public understanding of risk and uncertainty
–Knowledge sharing across sectors–Trusted honest broker

Key questions for us all!• How do we change the culture in industry and academia to become more effective
in collaboration and delivery of technology and policy?• How do technology focussed academics get involved with industry?• How do we get industry and investors to make serious investments in CMC and
technology? • How do we form stable linkages to demonstration projects?• How do we optimally use our resources to engender spinoffs, train staff and develop
technology and policy?• How do we get students and postdocs active in spinout generation (Technology
scholarships?)• What should our next call for proposals look like-what targets?• How do we engage at a global level with other similar organisations?• How do we maintain our credibility?• How do we revise strategy and improve quality control on our research program ?• What should the balance of basic research versus applied research be?• How do we link carbon capture and storage research?• How do we link technical and social science research• How do we improve our linkages to renewable energy research, biochar
and other relevant sectors?

Show stoppers in Carbon Management
• No game-changing technology
• No social engagement or mandate to deploy technologies at large scale(e.g. Public concern about CCS)
• Insufficient trained staff to deploy solutions at large scale

Engagement with organisations
• Global CCS Institute • Integrated CO2 Network (ICO2N) • International Performance
Assessment Centre (IPAC-CO2)• JCOAL-Japanese Coal……• Stanford Carbon Capture & Storage
Consortium

Engagement with industrial programs• CCS Projects
– Fort Nelson CCS Project – Spectra Energy– North West Upgrading– Alberta Carbon Trunk Line (ACTL) - Enhance
Energy Inc.– Shell Quest Project,– Swan Hills Synfuels– Project Pioneer – TransAlta – Weyburn-Midale CO2 Project, Cenovus – Boundary Dam Project – SaskPower

Carbon Management Canada and Technology Pilots CMC can contribute to:
– Meta-level systems mapping and planning to develop a shared vision and goals, understanding of complementary roles, clarifying issues and developing performance measurement frameworks.
– Bridging the gap between research communities and the CCS projects currently underway.
– Facilitating technical support for existing projects• a summary of who’s who (list of experts and organizations), and who is
doing what• building teams of appropriate experts to work on common technical/policy
issues (matching experts with needs)• Undertaking research that would be of common value to many of the
projects• Providing research services • Undertaking research or learning exercises that would pilot public
engagement processes in a low-risk situation (i.e. simulate what might occur in the case of an actual project)
– Development of HQP and coordinated HQP planning– Organizing collaborative workshops/meetings – Undertaking public education and outreach – Finding ways to reduce IP barriers while respecting licensing
agreements – Extending the CMC collaborative web-based platform to support the
network52

Possible new call or investment areas?????
• Enabling activities• A system of industrial internships for graduate students and post
docs• Innovation or technology scholarships for inventors, boffins,
entrepreneurial students, postdocs, technicians• How do we engage with the technology investment community?• Priority Research Topics• Some focus on immediate technical needs of demonstration
pilots(new dollars)• Broad calls versus specific targeting?• What are your views?• Workshops• What areas? Do you want to run one?

Summary• Program underway-some glitches but a good first
year• Technical collaboration in projects and on test site
programs• Collaborations with some but not many industry
partners• Collaboration in outreach and public information
activities • Collaboration in innovation activities across
sector(PTAC, OSLI, IPAC)• CMC has funding flexibility to support a variety of
joint programs• What do you think we should be doing in terms of
new programs from here on in? 54

This is your meeting-we want your feedback and
suggestions on how best to steer the program-let us
know this week and whenever.
