Advancing Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS): East Asia Perspective

About

10–13 November 2024
Qingdao, China

Workshop Overview

CCUS technologies have witnessed rapid growth in recent years, offering promising solutions for reducing carbon emissions and achieving climate goals. The East Asian region, in particular, presents unique challenges and opportunities in the development and deployment of CCUS solutions. This workshop recognizes the importance of tailored approaches that cater to the specific needs and contexts of East Asian countries, aiming to foster a collaborative environment that drives innovation and progress in CCUS.

Workshop Objectives

This workshop aims to provide a unique platform to accelerate the development, implementation, and practice of CCUS technologies for the East Asian region. This workshop will facilitate knowledge sharing and collaboration among academia and industry experts across various disciplines like seismology, rock physics, geomechanics, reservoir engineering, and chemical engineering in the context of CCUS. By engaging experts in discussions with stakeholders and local regulators, the goal is to enhance understanding and adoption of CCUS technologies tailored to the region. Participants will stay updated on the latest technical developments, network with key stakeholders, and apply their expertise to address pressing issues related to CCUS in East Asia.
