LILLE, France & BRUSSELS, Belgium
Wednesday [February 18]… we were well received by EDHEC business school in Lille, France, where we presented topics including Alberta’s perspective on Energy and Environment, Alberta’s latest initiative on “Land Reclamation Incentives” and Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). EDHEC students, professors and coordinators at the business school gave a treat to a fantastic dinner and shared their opinions and the Europeans Union’s (EU) position on Energy, Environment and Emissions Trading issues. Travel to Brussels, Belgium was easy and under one hour on the fast train from Lille.
