Background

About Patrick Georges

My career started in 1996 as a contractor with Environment and Climate Change Canada. I became familiar with data collection on air and water pollutants, emissions inventories (including GHG) and the development of regulations such as Mining Effluent Regulations, Carbon Pricing, Base Level Industrial Emissions, Pollution Prevention Plans, codes of practice and Ozone depleting Substances regulations for various industrial sectors, including mining and minerals transformation, construction, oil and gas and a few others. From to 2003, I had the opportunity to work as a high school science teacher and through my career, I have supervised about 15 university students in various capacities. Teaching, coaching and writing are strenghts I enjoyed developing through the years. I really enjoy learning new topics, in different contexts More recently, I have had the opportunity to analyze technical aspects of various issues in the OIl and Gas Sector, both from a regulatory perspective with Environment and Climate Change Canada and also from an Environmental Technology perspective with Natural Resources Canada. I analyzed the economic and environmental impact of abandoned gas wells, the impact of methane emissions from pneumatics and other sources and the implementation of regulations, the committments on the oil and gas cap and the energy transition to net zero and its complexity for the oil and gas sector. I've been analyzing government documents and providing comments to working groups on various topics, including the development of the Oil Sands Mining Effluent Regulations. I am very comfortable with writing both in French and English. In addition to my work experiences in the government, I've done technical translation for a private companies that manufacture doors and windows. My goals: I wish to utilize my analytical and writing skills (in English and French) in various situations involving technical knowledge. As I'm approaching retirement, I wish to work as a consultant; I could start with a few hours a week and build from there as I'm still working full time.
