19-22 AAPG Europe Workshop in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Online
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is an energy transition and negative emissions technology used to store CO₂ directly into geological formations. Applied properly, CCS can provide high-energy, high-heat, and emissions industry players time to develop low carbon alternatives to burning coal, oil, or gas. The aim of this workshop is to explore how to best scale up a thousand fold geostorage of CO2.
