Panel Sessions
‣ Technology alone will not result in development
‣ Success will be determined by how well 8 functional areas are addressed
‣ Panel sessions were convened at the conference to allow for discussion and sharing of experiences in these 8 areas
‣ To allow for the Arctic to be developed as an Energy Province the following areas must integrated into any strategic plan

Arctic Energy Action Team Mission‣ Cooperatively develop an international
vision of the North through a broad coalition of energy, technology, and policy experts and stakeholders
‣ Formulate strategy and identify enabling technologies for:
• Enhancement of extractive and renewable energy recovery
• Deployment of economical and environmentally sensitive energy sources to rural Arctic communities
• Development of the Arctic as and Energy Province

Arctic Energy Action Team Goals‣ Identify technology needs for the three
challenge areas
‣ Develop a technology roadmap for the development and demonstration of the enabling technologies
‣ Identify barriers that can be eliminated by cooperative action, with commitments at local, regional, national and international levels
‣ Report to the Arctic Council and International Polar year in early 2009

Extractive Energy Challenge‣ The Development of Arctic Coal
‣ Large amounts of high quality coal exist in the Arctic (25% of known world reserves)subject to the constraints of the High North; sensitive environment, permafrost, long supply chains and severe weather
‣ Benefit both an export economy as well as meet local needs
‣ Potential technologies could include gasification, liquefaction, coal slurry and small scale mining

Renewable Energy Challenge‣ The Development of Tidal Generation
‣ What technology or approach currently under development would best fit the Arctic environment
‣ What carry over will tidal technology play in other open water (wave) technology or in-river hydro
‣ Are there barriers (such as tidal ice) that would prevent this renewable resource from being used

Rural Energy Challenge
‣ The Development of Alternative Transportation Fuels
‣ One third of energy usage in a rural community is in transportation fuels
‣ High costs of these fuels are significantly impacting rural subsistence lifestyles and the viability of these communities
‣ Possibilities may include propane, compressed natural gas, hydrogen, and battery/fuel cells

Communication
‣ Virtual team
‣ Broken down by challenges and 8 functional areas
‣ Minimum physical meetings - if any
‣ Maximum use of internet, email, web meetings
‣ Google Group as primary vehicle for communication

‣We have the opportunity tomake a change in howthe Arctic is viewed and to createa new energy vision of the northfor the people of the north.
With vision, energy and actionwe can lead this changeand make a difference.
