Panelist

Mr. David Prior, Northern Spill Technology Inc

David Prior studied business administration at the University of Western Ontario and proceeded to work in the marine industry. In 1986 he filed international patents for an innovative sail-assist system for commercial ships. In 2005, while doing contract work in the Oil & Gas Department at Dalhousie University, he was introduced to an innovative idea for recovering spilled oil. A patent was granted in Canada, Brazil, China and the USA. In August, 2012, ocean tests were performed by the Chinese Coast Guard using bunker C fuel oil. Prior then designed and built a 12m oil skimmer vessel for the Canadian Coast Guard.

University of Guyana - Green Institute

UGGI is administratively within the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Guyana. The Institute collaborates with Departments across all Faculties/Schools/Centres and other units that currently exist to achieve its Mission and Vision. It will not duplicate what is done in other departments of the University of Guyana or in other agencies in Guyana, but will attempt to bring fresh knowledge insights and innovative methodologies and processes to bear on existing programmes and initiatives.
