International CCS Knowledge Centre appoints James Millar President and CEO

Regina, SK, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The International CCS Knowledge Centre has appointed James Millar to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 24. A highly respected executive with deep experience in energy, industrial infrastructure, and public policy, Millar arrives at a critical inflection point in the development of carbon capture and storage technology in Canada and around the world.

“We need deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions if we’re going to meet our ambitious climate goals over the next few decades,” Millar says. “Many global organizations including the International Energy Agency and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agree that without CCS the world cannot meet its emission reduction targets. I’m excited to lead this organization at a time when widespread investment and interest in CCS is scaling up.”

A native of Calgary, James Millar began his career in Saskatchewan, where he was a senior advisor in government before being appointed Director of Public Affairs for the Calgary Health Region. He transitioned to the energy industry, providing public affairs direction to TransCanada Corporation (now TC Energy) during planning and development of major infrastructure projects including the Keystone XL and Energy East pipelines. Most recently, he managed public affairs for Pieridae Energy, working on a $10-billion LNG project off Canada’s east coast, and Pieridae’s planned carbon capture initiative, to sequester three million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.

With a mandate to advance the global understanding and deployment of large-scale CCS to reduce global GHG emissions, the International CCS Knowledge Centre provides the know-how to implement large-scale CCS projects as well as CCS optimization through the base learnings from both the fully-integrated Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility and the comprehensive second-generation CCS study, known as the Shand CCS Feasibility Study. Our expertise crosses industries including cement, potash and natural gas combustion. Operating since 2016 under the direction of an independent board, the Knowledge Centre was established by BHP and SaskPower. With growing private and public investment in CCS, the Knowledge Centre is uniquely positioned to advise industries in Canada and around the world in planning, developing and managing this important technology.

Get ready to go viral with your original sound creations with Lomotif’s new feature #OGSounds

The new Original Sound feature on global short video-sharing app, Lomotif, allows users to create original audio clips and create content by remixing other users’ Original Sounds as well

NEW YORK, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Lomotif, a global short video-sharing platform that offers easy and intuitive creation, has launched its new Original Sound feature through its “#OGSounds– Go viral with your original sound” campaign.  This new Lomotif Original Sound feature will allow users to create original audio clips and create video content by remixing other users’ Original Sounds as well.

Lomotif is the place where everyday creators can unleash and grow their creative potential – with a breadth of easy-to-use creative tools, a variety of engaging topical channels, and an active community of like-minded everyday creators that enables users to inspire each other to be creative. By amplifying the app’s new Original Sound feature, the #OGSounds challenge presents Lomotif’s community with an opportunity to experiment with audio creation and music collaboration.

To encourage exploration and playfully engage the creative side of users, Original Sound creation is not limited to just singing or self-produced songs – from the sounds of the ocean, to spoken poetry, to a cat’s meow – Original Sounds can be created by everyday creators with everyday sounds. Users can create their own Original Sounds of up to 30-seconds, by simply recording a Lomotif and posting it. If no music clips are selected during the creation process from Lomotif’s extensive music catalogue, an Original Sound is immediately created and attributed to the user. Other like-minded creators may then collaborate by remixing their own Lomotifs from these Original Sounds created.

Speaking on this new feature, Paul Yang, CEO, Lomotif, said, “As a home for everyday creators with dedicated global users from countries spanning Asia to Latin America, and West Africa to the U.S., Lomotif created this Original Sound feature as a new way for our users to feed their creativity and spark inspiration through easy collaboration. Our Lomotif community shares authentic short video content that empowers others to express themselves freely, and giving our users a chance to create and be accredited as creators of Original Sounds was just a natural next step in our evolution. We’re delighted to have rolled out this new feature that will enhance the Lomotif experience and put more power into the hands of our creators. We can’t wait to witness what #OGSounds will be created next!”

The leading world futurists and scientists are interested in the development of Africa

JOHANNESBURG, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Transdisciplinary Agora For Future Discussions (TAFFD’s) will gather the leading futurists all over the world during the Gen4IR Global Summit in South Africa. The event will take place at the beautiful Sun City resort in Johannesburg in the middle of August.

https://gen4ir.org

The event which is now slated August 16-17 2022 because of the aims to converge scientist, and industrial experts from diverse disciplines.

“We are working with relevant authorities through our crucial government partners to ensure ease of travel to SA. The move of the summit to August will therefore offer the best chance for all participants to attend in person and maximize face-to-face interaction, networking opportunities, and planning productive endeavors for the future.” – commented Brenda Kgomotsego Ramokopelwa, CEO at TAFFD’s.

“The growing interest from the private and public sectors worldwide in our event will require full engagement by speakers and delegates. We will therefore use this time to offer regular context, podcasts, commentaries, Zoom events that will educate, enlighten, and inspire about the prosperous future of Africa that the August summit will help unleash. We apologize for any inconvenience this move might have caused and hope to see you this August in South Africa. We thank you for your interest in the Gen4IR summit and hope you will engage with us as we lead up to our exciting event! –  Ósìnàkáchì Ákùmà Kálù, founder at TAFFD’s.

https://taffds.org

Africa, with its status as having the youngest population on Earth, is strategically positioned at the forefront of the global race to be the 4IR powerhouse thanks to boundlessly creativity of African youth experienced in using tools, ideas and skills in overcoming of the myriad real-life challenges, and vast resources of the world digital technologies and startups, who are interested in this raising market. Over a million years ago, the making of stone chopping tools and the stone hand axe at Olduvai Gorge of the East African Rift Valley represented the first step in the great human journey of shaping our world and for many millions of years. The stone hand axe from Africa remained the innovative technology, which was needed by and accompanied our ancestors as they spread out of Africa and across the world. Indeed, as our tools evolve so do our ideas, and then as our tools and ideas evolve, so also do we. Our current 21st century world and humankind through a new set of modern tools characterized as exponential technologies, stands again at the verge of another radical evolution – a Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), – and just as with the story of our origins, the future of this technological revolution lies again in the promise of Africa.

Currently, among the speakers of the Gen4IR conference are Ai Karaki, 4iAfrica; David Wood, futurists;  Aubrey De Grey, PhD, Biomedical Gerontologist; Natasha Vita More, PhD;  Jose Louis Codeiro, MIT Engineer, Immortalist; Edward Hudgins, Futurist, Human Achievement Alliance; Dr. Catherine Demetriades, Inventor of Cxai technologies and Actual Intelligence; Dr. Sarita Sharma, Author of Myriad Voices, Days V.; Ugo Chukwu, Futurist; and many more. We deliver you 4 Key mindsets and an understanding of the exponential technologies required for you. Let’s make Africa great again!
