SENG Vic Event Reminder April 2019

Wed, 2019-03-27 14:05
Single-Column Responsive Email Template Event Reminder - 11 April 2019 Climate and Carbon Challenges Level 31, 600 Bourke Street Melbourne 5.30 pm for 6.00 pm Thursday 11th April REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT This event will examine the opportunities and challenges for Australia and especially, the engineering profession, to reshape its industries and society to meet the global challenge of emissions reductions required to meet the safe climate goals set at the 2015 Paris climate conference and reviewed at COP24 2018 in Poland. The topic will be addressed from perspectives of (a) latest scientific assessments on climate and emissions trends; and (b) challenges for the engineering profession in responding to industry transformations necessitated by a carbon constrained future. The science basis for determining policy and engineering responses Policy actions by government and contributions from the engineering profession need to be based on an understanding of the latest scientific assessments by the international climate science community. This presentation will address important aspects including: the global carbon budget and Australia’s fair share in contributing to the global abatement effort latest thinking on climate risk e.g as analyses by the IPCC 1.5 degree Warming Assessment greater emission reduction ambition in light of COP 24 and recent scientific reviews such as the UNEP Emissions gap Report A/Prof Malte Meinshausen is Co-Director of the Energy Transition Hub (www.energy-transition-hub.org) and was founding Director of the Climate & Energy College (climatecollege.unimelb.edu.au) at The University of Melbourne. Before coming to Melbourne in 2011, he did research at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany. He holds a PhD in "Climate Science & Policy", a Diploma in "Environmental Sciences" from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and an MSc in "Environmental Change and Management" from the University of Oxford, UK. His research focuses on emission scenarios, carbon budgets, reduced complexity climate modelling (www.magicc.org) and the Paris Agreement negotiations. He was the scientific adviser to the German Government from 2005 to 2016 in the UNFCCC negotiations. How should society generally and the engineering profession in particular, respond? Policy responses by government has been a fraught issue over the last decade. The engineering profession has a key role in developing technical solutions to support both international obligations and to enable the transformations demanded by a carbon constrained future. This presentation will look at: What policy tools and regulations are required to support an orderly, cost efficient transition to net zero carbon emissions across all sectors Australia by 2050. How adequate are our current collective government sectoral settings towards achieving a net zero 2050 CO2e target? What typical specific strategies and adjustments will be required across different key CO2e emissions sectors within Australia, particularly in Engineering related sectors. (transport, built infrastructure, industrial processes, mining, energy). Tom Yankos plays a central role in providing research and analysis for a range of ClimateWorks’ projects. Since joining ClimateWorks Australia in late 2014, Tom has undertaken analysis for a range of projects, including the quantitation of the potential emissions reduction contribution from Sustainability Victoria’s TAKE2 pledge program, state-based economy-wide emissions projections and potential impacts of switching from gas to electric appliances on the electricity grid (in collaboration with CSIRO). He also completed analysis for the ‘Energy Productivity Index for Companies’ project and contributed to the development of ClimateWorks’ ‘2050 Pathways Calculator’, an online tool which allows users to explore scenarios leading to deep decarbonisation by mid-century. During a secondment to CSIRO, Tom helped prepare the 'Low Emissions Technology Roadmap' report which highlights areas of potential growth in Australia's clean technology sector, contributing ClimateWorks' perspective and expertise. Prior to joining ClimateWorks, Tom provided data analysis and modelling activities for energy efficiency and cost reduction for the Toyota Motor Corporation Australia. He also has experience in advanced simulation and computational methods. Tom holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering (First Class Honours) and a Bachelor of Business (Distinction) from RMIT University.

SENG Event - Metropolitan Transport

Thu, 2018-05-17 15:30
SENG Event Reminder - 24 May 2018 'A Sustainability Approach to Metropolitan People Movement' Level 31, 600 Bourke Street Melbourne, 6.00pm Thursday 24th May This seminar will look at three modes of metropolitan transport, cars, public transport and active transport (walking and cycling). It will give a perspective on how sustainable each mode may be in meeting EA’s sustainability policy. The future of the car - Dr Ian Espada The car handles the most personal trips in Australia. A scenario wherein current trends prevail into the next generation is described and discussed from the point of view of sustainability. Emerging trends on electrification, shared economy, connectivity, big data and autonomy are examined on how they impact the car of the future. Dr Ian Espadaholds degrees in traffic engineering and transport planning from the University of Tokyo (PhD) and Asian Institute of Technology (MSCE), as well as in civil engineering from Central Philippine University (BSCE). From 2001 to 2008, he worked as a transport planner for ALMEC Corporation. Dr Espada joined the Network Operations team of ARRB Group in 2008. He is currently the Network Operations Team Leader at ARRB. The future of public transport - Professor Graham Currie In considering the future of public transport he will: consider how “new mobility”, “autonomous vehicles”, “shared mobility” and “ride sharing” is going to impact urban transit; explore the future case for Urban Transit systems; look at some new and interesting developments in the field. Professor Graham Currie FTSE, is the Director of the Public Transport Research Group at the Institute of Transport Studies, Monash University. He is a research leader and policy adviser and founder of the Public transport research group at Monash Uni. Prof Currie’s experience spans Project Management, Demand Forecasting, Planning Methods in Public Transport, Regulatory Reviews, Efficiency and Performance Benchmarking, Training, Market Research, Investment Appraisal and Financial and Economic Analysis. The future of Active Transport - Ms Katie Dickson This presentation will provide insight into: space efficient movement for productive places (with a brief introduction to Movement and Place - the evolution of SmartRoads) sustainable urban living, where movement is achieved without impeding the productivity of place, noting the importance of walking and cycling; relieving train station car parks (with a brief introduction to the Victorian Cycling Strategy); city resilience in the face of disaster (predictable break downs, climate change, emissions etc); changing fuels (impact of electric motors for bicycles). Katie Dicksonhas worked in the field of strategic planning, design and planning of active transport for over 20 years. She is a geographer and transport planner by profession, and has worked for local Councils, NGOs and State Government agencies in London and Melbourne. The speakers session will be followed by a Panel Q&A.
