A significant portion of global carbon emissions can be attributed to heavy industrial processes (such as cement, metal, and plastic production) which cannot easily transition to renewable energy.
How can we decarbonize these segments of the economy?
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is often presented as a solution to these challenges. CCUS technologies encompass an array of applications that aim to capture CO2, either from flue gases or directly from the air. These technologies then transform CO2 into a usable, nongaseous compound or store it underground to prevent its release into the atmosphere.
Although the sector has faced multiple challenges to scale, it has regained momentum in recent years. At least 15 large-scale CCUS installations are currently being deployed in the US, and new incentives and funding programs in the US and Europe are hastening CCUS deployment.
Join us on Monday, July 27th for a virtual conversation on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage! Panelists from Great Plains Institute, Equinor Energy Ventures, Carbonfree Chemicals, and Clean Air Task Force will discuss how the CCUS sector can overcome its scalability and cost challenges, and what role it can play in the global decarbonization toolbox.
