The Low Carbon Transformation Using Integrated CCUS Technologies, Economies and Policies

The Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting-edge ideas.

The unprecedented levels of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere are responsible for the development and progression of several environmental concerns such as climate change. As a result, CO2 Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) has been proposed to capture and store CO2 from large-scale point sources. This seminar will highlight the pathways that integrate CO2 capture, utilization and storage technologies and have the potential to be feasible in the transition to a low carbon future.

The full integrated supply chain of CCUS, from point of capture of carbon, to transport and eventual storage or utilization will be examined. More specifically, the GRS will highlight new or improved capture technologies, innovative uses of CO2 and optimized storage processes, while also discussing the state-of-the-art. Associate issues, such as technological barriers, societal impact and carbon policies will be integrated within the seminar to provide a holistic overview of CCUS and what is currently preventing its large-scale deployment.

We are working diligently on our program for this fall 2021 Carbon, Capture, Utilization and Storage GRC and GRS. We have been able to raise funding to support both young scientists and others who may require financial assistance. If you are interested in receiving funding, please contact the GRC chairs and/or the GRS chairs at the links provided if you do not already have their contact information. We are looking forward to being together again in person and hope all who are interested can join us!
