About the event
Carbon Capture and Storage refers to technologies which reduce the emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere from fossil fuel used in power generation and other industries by capturing CO2, transporting it and, ultimately, pumping it into underground geologic formations to securely store it away from the atmosphere.
The presentation will give a high level overview of carbon capture and storage (CCS) and cover the following topics:
• Background and importance of CCS
• Capture Technologies
• Transport and Storage
• Current Activities within the Industry
• Economics
• Outlook for CCS
