| Carbon capture and storage – From reservoir through the full value chain | Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) represents a crucial component of a low carbon dioxide emission technology portfolio necessary for the mitigation of climate change. The technology involves the capture and long-term geological storage of anthropogenic CO2 formed from fossil fuel power generation and industrial processes. Current research is being undertaken in a number of fields relating to CCS, however for the IGC the symposium will look to investigate some of the most topical questions relating to the geological aspects of CO2 storage - What is the minimum monitoring required to satisfy the regulator?, What can we learn from natural analogues to improve CO2 storage?, Do we have enough CO2 storage pilots and demonstration plants?, Is the “S” in CCS ready for large scale CCS deployment? The symposium will explore these questions through a combination of presentations, key note speakers, discussions and a final panel session. Sessions are proposed as the following: Session 1 – CO2 Storage – 4x15min presentations and 1x30 min invited speaker, 30 minutes discussion; Session 2 – CO2 Monitoring – 4x15min presentations and 1x30 min invited speaker, 30 minutes discussion; Session 3 – Natural CO2 Analogues- 4x15min presentations and 1x30 min invited speaker, 30 minutes discussion; Session 4 – Update of CO2 Storage Projects - 4x15min presentations and 1x30 min invited speaker, 30 minutes discussion; Session 5 – Is the “S” in CCS ready for large scale CCS deployment? – 4 x 5min presentations and 1 x 100 minutes panel session. | Nigel Hicks, Brendan Beck, Sallie Greenberg and Andrew Green |
