The capture and geological storage of carbon dioxide (CO²) is widely considered a viable mitigation strategy for the GHG emissions that result from the large-scale usage of fossil fuels. But despite the support CCS technologies have garnered thus far, there are many hurdles to overcome before they become a practical reality. Th e ACI CCS Summit aims to address those hurdles, by bringing together both capture and storage stakeholders to develop a greater understanding of current and future needs and an integrated approach for advancing CCS commercialization.
Last year’s acclaimed conference attracted 100+ executives from federal and state government, oil and gas companies, power companies, oilfield service providers, technology solution providers, equipment manufacturers, investors, environmental NGOs, and legal advisors. Building on that success, this year’s summit will again feature renowned CCS thought-leaders, and an agenda that identifies, examines and offers solutions to the challenges that this nascent industry is faced with.
With climate change legislation looming, and the possibility of EPA regulation relating to CO² emissions, many companies are taking a proactive approach to CCS, despite the associated costs. This event gives you the opportunity to gain insight and meet with those who are driving the adoption of CCS. You’ll hear first hand from thought-leaders who are at the forefront of the current CCS activity in the U.S. Whether you’re evaluating the viability of carbon capture and storage as a means to reduce your CO² emissions, or you’re a solution provider in the value chain seeking new business opportunities, you won’t find a more comprehensive, strategic and insightful event than this one.
Event highlights include:
-
• A keynote presentation by Frederick Palmer, senior vice president of government
relations for Peabody Energy
• Analysis of the current global status of CCS by Bloomberg New Energy Finance
• Results to date of coal CCS demonstration projects by Southern Company
• Examination of state technical and economic analyses conducted to determine the feasibility of CCS
• Resolutions and conclusions reached thus far on the long term liability of sequestered CO²
• Given the possibility of expanded off shore drilling, an evaluation of the feasibility, cost and risk of sequestering CO² off shore
• Th e announcement of guidelines for effective CCS community engagement established by World Resources Institute
