SUMMARY:Webinar | Brazil & LATAM Offshore Wind Supply Chain Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Marine Renewables Canada (MRC) invites you to join us for a webinar on Wednesday\, January 15\, 2025 exploring opportunities in offshore wind in Latin America\, with a focus on Brazil. \n\nBrazil\, and more broadly Latin America (LATAM)\, has the potential to be an important export market for Canadian offshore wind (OSW) capabilities. A few countries like Brazil\, Colombia and Chile are making strides in OSW development. MRC has delved deeper into the Brazilian market specifically\, and boarder LATAM region\, to gather market intelligence and better understand market potential and entry points for MRC members and Atlantic Canadian companies. \nWith support from Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)\, MRC has commissioned a study to ascertain the realistic commercial opportunities for Canadian firms in the LATAM OSW development markets\, with specific emphasis on Brazil\, and align those with the capacity and competitive capabilities of the Atlantic Canadian service and supply chain. This study is meant to provide specific actionable advice that can improve the chances of commercial success by Canadian industrial supply chain companies to capture contracts on commercial terms in support of the development of the Brazilian OSW sector and provide a broader overview of other countries in LATAM that hold potential for OSW development. \nAs a follow-up activity to this study\, MRC will be leading a mission to Brazil in June 2025. This mission will also include a side-visit to the State of Ceara\, located in the northeastern part of the country\, on the Atlantic coast\, where many of the OSW projects are poised to develop. \nJoin MRC’s upcoming webinar to learn more about: \n· Latin America’s OSW market\, with a focus on Brazil’s potential and what opportunities exist for MRC members and Atlantic Canadian companies \n· Preliminary results of the study led by Envigour Policy \n· Details on MRC’s planned 2025 mission to Brazil \n· A new database tool that has been created in conjunction with the study to assist Canadian companies in maximizing the benefits of cooperation and collaboration by helping to identify potential partners or gaps in the Brazilian supply chain.

SUMMARY:MRC Webinar: Offshore Wind Energy in Atlantic Canada - Geological Constraints and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The potential for offshore wind development in Atlantic Canada is quickly becoming a hot topic and with good reason – the region has some of the best sites in the world for both fixed and floating offshore wind development from both a wind resource and geophysical perspective. \nThis webinar will feature an overview of preliminary work led by the Geological Survey of Canada to assess geological constraints and opportunities. Several Atlantic Canadian sites with available high-resolution geophysical data will be reviewed for comparison with production and planned offshore wind farm sites found elsewhere. \nDate/Time: Wednesday\, May 25th @ 1pm ADT \nFormat:  \n\nIntroduction (5 min)\nPresentation (30 min)\nQ&A (15 min)\n\nSpeaker: Jordan Eamer\, Geological Survey of Canada \n \nJordan was born and raised on Vancouver Island in British Columbia\, where his research interests in coastal geomorphology and Quaternary geology developed. Jordan’s research has until recently been focussed on the coastal areas of BC\, where he worked up and down the coast in areas such as Haida Gwaii\, the Hakai Protected Area\, and western Vancouver Island. His focus was sediment budgets for coastal restoration projects\, climate change adaptation\, coastal erosion\, and late Quaternary reconstruction and paleogeography. He did a postdoc at the University of Calgary where he was a project manager/science advisor for UAV application development. \nFrom there\, Jordan took a bit of a turn (east\, to be precise) and joined the federal Public Service with Parks Canada Agency in 2017\, working for the Sable Island National Park Reserve. While there\, he worked in operations: landing planes\, forecasting storms\, and fixing buildings. He always kept his eye on the science and in 2019 Jordan joined the Geological Survey of Canada at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth as a Marine Geoscientist. \nCurrently\, Jordan works on issues from the coast to the edge of the continental shelf\, including coastal erosion and evolution\, Late Quaternary reconstruction of land- and seascapes and what processes led to the landform assemblages we find today\, and continental shelf seabed conditions\, infrastructure\, and marine renewables.
