The 32nd Energy Summit
In just a few months, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced all of us to re-evaluate our priorities, from how we work to where we shop for essentials. Literally no family, business, organization, or association hasn’t been impacted by the virus, which has caused the delay or outright cancelation of massive conferences, conventions and seminars worldwide.
Putting Oil Industry By-products to Work
From benzene in Aspirin to paraffin wax in lipstick, petroleum and its by-products are in many products – including fertilizer.
A New Look at Turning Waste into Resources
From yarns made from plastic ocean waste to a new generation of materials that can be recycled over and over again, plastics today are being viewed more as a resource than an environmental liability.
Sustainable Forestry Practices
Without forests, life on earth would cease to exist. Absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, forests are home to Indigenous persons and countless species of wildlife, and are a valuable source of wood for lumber, fuel, furniture, medicine and more.
Logistics in the Resource Sector
Logistics are vital to well-organized supply chain management (SCM) – to keeping goods and services flowing. All industries rely on SCM, and few are more dependent on finely tuned logistics than the resource sector.
A Look at Alternative Fuels
For decades, the world’s relationship with oil has been akin to a dysfunctional marriage: some believe we can live with it, others say we should live without it.
The Market for Renewables is Charged with Energy
With an entire generation of young men and women raised on the principles of green initiatives and environmental sustainability, the desire to invest in the renewable industry is at an all-time high.
Energy Infrastructure and Storage We Can Depend On
From the batteries we use to power our smartphones to supplying fail-proof energy to data centres, hospitals and entire cities, our dependence on electricity is at an all-time high…
In Search of Prosperity
Canada’s wealth is dependent on natural resources – the discovery, extraction, processing and transportation of them, but also their use in industries like construction and manufacturing, which are the economic engines that drive the global economy.
A More Responsible Resource Sector
In a mix of newly revitalized ethical responsibility and the sort of innovation and energy you’d expect of industry, businesses everywhere you look are going green, and the resource sector is no exception.
Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma
A tough industry under constant fire, the oil and natural gas business has never been one for the faint of heart. Now, the Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma has stepped in as the state’s unified voice for an industry that benefits everyone and is always trying to better itself.
Yukon Chamber of Mines
Discussing the outstanding opportunities and quality of life in the Yukon, Samson Hartland shows real excitement – and so he should. As Executive Director of the Yukon Chamber of Mines for six years, he’s had front seats to the tremendous recent growth of this fabled territory.
The Changing Face of the Resource Workforce
As we enter the new decade, today’s resource sector companies are facing greater challenges than ever before. Mining, oil and gas, hydroelectricity, agriculture, and other industries are facing pressure to produce more while increasing profits, reducing waste, remaining cost-effective, and respecting environmental regulations. To achieve these goals and others, logistics is the key.
Smart Practices for a Sustainable Future
Companies that adopt sustainability initiatives are everywhere, from small mom-and-pop companies to multinational manufacturers. Green practices are no longer limited to environmental groups or a handful of sectors and exist today in virtually every industry – and mining is no exception.
Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA)
The solar energy industry employs over a quarter of a million Americans who work for companies and organizations that are dedicated to the promotion, manufacture, installation, innovation and support of solar energy. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) represents all of them.
Investing in the Future of Energy Storage
From our homes to our offices, daily energy use is increasing across the board – both for mundane tasks as simple as charging our cell phones to key operations like global corporations backing up massive amounts of sensitive data offsite. The need for safe and readily available power keeps growing, and some predict energy storage will be the next big business.

The New Generation of Energy Storage
As heavy industries around the world continue to strive for cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally friendly energy storage, plenty of options in addition to cogeneration, or combined heat and power (the use of a heat engine or power station to generate electricity and useful heat at the same time), are emerging.
dmg events and The Global Energy Show & Conference
The world is in debate, and the subject is energy, whether traditional fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, or solar, wind, geothermal, and other renewables. Meanwhile, regulators and power producers alike search for the holy grail that is a lower-carbon economy.
Borea Construction
As Canada works toward total carbon neutrality by 2050, a future rich in renewable energy moves ever closer. Canada’s largest renewable-energy constructor, Borea Construction, is making renewable energy more accessible and smaller in size and environmental impact than ever before.
La Granaudière
The La Granaudière renewable energy project is currently underway in the Saint Michel des Saints region of Québec. The project involves constructing and operating a wood pellet plant capable of producing 200,000 metric tonnes of pellets annually, to be sold primarily in Europe. After more than five years of planning, the development broke ground in September of 2019 and is expected to be complete by end of the summer of this year.
AdvancedAg
Canada is one of the world’s biggest food producers, responsible for nutritious crops like wheat, corn, canola, rye, malt barley, soybeans, beets, and potatoes, to name a few. Pulses such as peas and lentils, chickpeas and beans—staples of Canadian farmers—are packed full of health-giving protein, fibre, and iron.
CLAAS of America
In an era marked by changing climates and a rising global population, the world’s food producers need new tools to raise efficiency and output. From its U.S. headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, CLAAS of America is dedicated to its mission of improving efficiency and reducing losses using over a century of industrial experience. With new machines, new facilities, and new leadership, CLAAS and its North American division offer the latest in farming machinery.
