  • Putting Costs of Direct Air Capture in Context

Summary of DAC Technology Companies 18 Putting Costs of Direct Air Capture in Context 1 Abstract This working paper provides an overview of various estimates and claims on direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide, and places them in a broader context of global climate policy. Unlike other techniques of climate engineering, DAC has received significant attention from startups since its main issue is deemed to be the direct implementation cost (not side effects or social concerns), which could be significantly reduced with successful innovation. Publicly available sources demonstrate that there is a huge range of cost estimates with three orders-of-magnitude differences, with the upper end on the order of 1000 USD/t-CO2. Cost values reported by private companies tend to be lower than academic estimates, though there is no a priori reason to believe that either is inherently biased.

  • International Aviation Regulations, Including the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation
    Chapter 2. An international dimension: Aviation Lucy Budd and Tim Ryley Transport Studies Group, School of Civil and Building Engineering, Loughborough University, UK. Chapter 2. An international dimension: Aviation. Budd & Ryley Structured Abstract Purpose: To examine the relationship between aviation and climate change, and the international dimensions of air transport, Methodology/approach: An examination of aviation’s impacts on the global climate, mitigation strategies to lessen aviation’s climate change impact and on the possible consequences of climate change for commercial aviation. Findings: Although a range of mitigation measures have been developed and implemented to reduce aircraft emissions in the short-term, with some environmental benefit, there is a real need for the aviation sector to identify the possible impacts of climate change on air travel operations, including both aircraft in flight and operations at airports. A further challenge will be to devise plans that will address the vulnerabilities and thus ensure safe aviation-related operations. Social implications: The climate change impacts of aviation will adversely affect society. In addition, some individuals may have to reduce or stop flying as a result of increased taxes and legislation implemented in response to climate change. Originality/value of paper: There is a novel focus on the adaptation challenges for the aviation industry in response to climate change. Introduction In a little over one hundred years between the first tentative twelve-second flight of the Wright brothers’ biplane and today, civil aviation has rapidly developed from a dangerous and unreliable form of mobility into a multi-billion dollar commercial enterprise that facilitates the routine international mobility of two billion passengers and tens of millions of tonnes of airfreight every year.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon.

  • FACTOR 2006-2007 Annual Report
    THE FOUNDATION ASSISTING CANADIAN TALENT ON RECORDINGS. 2006 - 2007 ANNUAL REPORT The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings. factor, The Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings, was founded in 1982 by chum Limited, Moffat Communications and Rogers Broadcasting Limited; in conjunction with the Canadian Independent Record Producers Association (cirpa) and the Canadian Music Publishers Association (cmpa). Standard Broadcasting merged its Canadian Talent Library (ctl) development fund with factor’s in 1985. As a private non-profit organization, factor is dedicated to providing assistance toward the growth and development of the Canadian independent recording industry. The foundation administers the voluntary contributions from sponsoring radio broadcasters as well as two components of the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Canada Music Fund which support the Canadian music industry. factor has been managing federal funds since the inception of the Sound Recording Development Program in 1986 (now known as the Canada Music Fund). Support is provided through various programs which all aid in the development of the industry. The funds assist Canadian recording artists and songwriters in having their material produced, their videos created and support for domestic and international touring and showcasing opportunities as well as providing support for Canadian record labels, distributors, recording studios, video production companies, producers, engineers, directors– all those facets of the infrastructure which must be in place in order for artists and Canadian labels to progress into the international arena. factor started out with an annual budget of $200,000 and is currently providing in excess of $14 million annually to support the Canadian music industry. Canada has an abundance of talent competing nationally and internationally and The Department of Canadian Heritage and factor’s private radio broadcaster sponsors can be very proud that through their generous contributions, they have made a difference in the careers of so many success stories.

  • 1 Virgin Care, Tax and the NHS Summary 1. Over Ten Years, Through
    Virgin Care, tax and the NHS Summary 1. Over ten years, through community and social care contracts worth more than £2bn, Virgin Care has become a major player in the NHS but has paid no corporation tax. This prompted Sir Vince Cable to say in 2018: “I would welcome further investigation by the Government of whether they are exploiting loopholes in order to avoid paying their full tax liability.” 2. Virgin Care’s explanation for paying no tax is that it has not made any profit, due to the costs of starting up and growing a new business; it reports an expectation of making a surplus in the future. 3. Virgin Care’s parent is Virgin UK Holdings Ltd, which is a subsidiary of Virgin Group Holdings Ltd, based in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven, and whose sole shareholder is Sir Richard Branson. 4. Commenting on the structure of the Virgin group, a tax expert (Richard Murphy) commented: “Tax planning is at the very core of their activities. This is the wrong priority for companies working in the state-funded NHS, where the tax contribution everyone makes, including those who supply NHS services, is vital to the continuing health of the nation.” He went on to speculate that the company structure makes it unlikely that Virgin Care will pay any tax in the UK in the foreseeable future. 5. Richard Branson claims he is helping the NHS and saving it and local authorities millions of pounds after having been invited in by New Labour. However, evidence indicates that in general, privatisation of services increases costs and lowers standards while destabilising the NHS.

In addition, there is no limit on the amount of ethnic programming that CKNT may broadcast in English, French, or a language of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada. The Commission reminds the licensee that it may consult with Commission staff for clarification on matters related to the application of the Commission’s regulations and policies. Application 1. The Commission has the authority, pursuant to section 9(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), to issue and renew licences for such terms not exceeding seven years and subject to such conditions related to the circumstances of the licensee as it deems appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in section 3(1) of the Act, as well as to amend those conditions on application of the licensee. 2.
