Location
Metropolitan Conference Centre 333 4 Avenue Southwest Calgary, AB T2P 0J4 Canada
Description
OVERVIEW
As innovators, we imagine a better future. Imagine capturing carbon dioxide and embedding it into concrete to make the product stronger. Imagine creating high quality fuels from CO2 emissions and wastewater by using just solar power. Imagine the limitless potential of turning CO2 into carbon nanofibres, a valuable manufacturing material. This is the lower carbon future.
Emissions Reduction Alberta’s latest Lessons Learned workshop will focus on CCUS investments in Alberta today and into the future.
Are you a technology developer, industry member, investor, or government employee who has completed a carbon capture, utilization or storage project? Do you have a project in progress? Are you interested in pursuing this CCUS technology development in Alberta? If so, this workshop is for you.
AGENDA
8:30 a.m. Networking and registration
9 a.m. Welcoming remarks: Steve MacDonald, CEO, Emissions Reduction Alberta
9:15 a.m. Industry Demand Panel: Learn more about carbon capture projects, carbon end-use and how these technologies can be used in other sectors. The panel will highlight the business case for carbon capture and use, as well as current and future demand for capture and use technologies and their market potential.
