Overview
To meet ambitious national and global emissions reduction targets, engineering organisations are increasingly looking towards Carbon Capture and Storage technology in order to reduce their overall CO2 output. This seminar will explore the engineering challenges which must be addressed throughout the end-to-end CCUS process, from the point of emission, through transportation, and finally at storage.
The process of capturing carbon as it is emitted is generally well understood. However, the physical footprint of the equipment/installation for this process and it’s lack of mobility make it currently not well suited to emitters located in difficult geographies or offshore. Furthermore, CO2 and the impurities contained therein pose significant risks to the materials traditionally used in gas transport and thus require the redesign or retrofitting of existing infrastructure. Steps must also be taken to repurpose existing energy infrastructure for the geological storage of carbon – ensuring the structural integrity and safety of mature installations.
Throughout this programme, an emphasis will be placed on delivering the technology safely and with thought given to other sustainability considerations, financial, societal, and ecological.
The event will feature case-study presentations representing the entire CCUS value chain, exploring the development and application of technologies to support organisations as they undergo this seismic transmission. Furthermore, it offers a key opportunity for engineers to network and share their own experiences in this space, helping the community collaborate to deliver critical projects.
Join this event to:
- Hear from government and regulators to better understand the prevailing policy and safety expectations shaping the CCUS landscape
- See case studies from engineers at the forefront of capture, transport, and storage implementation
- Gain insights from technical experts exploring the materials and integrity challenge inherent to working with CO2
- Connect with counterparts from across the CCUS value chain
- Ensure your organisation is ready to safely scale-up carbon capture to meet regulatory and environmental expectations into the future
- Benchmark your CCUS technology roadmap against the progress and plans of leading companies in the space
- Identify opportunities to collaborate with partners on the delivery of CCUS projects
