13th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies conference (GHGT-13)

GHGT-13 provides the platform for the CCS community to discuss and debate advances in the field of CCS to date and cast forward to future needs for wider scale deployment. The world needs strong action on greenhouse gas emission reduction and CCS is a key technology amongst the portfolio of low carbon energy options to help mitigate global emissions of CO2.

Venue

Swiss Tech Convention Center
, Route Louis-Favre 2, 1024 Ecublens

The GHGT conference series has firmly established itself as the principal international platform for exhibiting on and discussing new technical developments and as the focal point for international research on CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS). Over the past twenty-five years, knowledge about the potential and impact of CCS has grown substantially. The main challenge for the years ahead is to overcome the barriers for wide-scale deployment of CCS technologies. CCS is becoming an industry where millions or even billions of pounds of investment will be spent.

We have seen a number of exciting developments in recent years like the start-up and operation of the Boundary Dam 3 CCS demonstration project in Canada. There will be much attention paid to the achievements of the demonstration projects and there is a need to share the knowledge gained from these projects. All the demonstration projects have benefited from the underpinning research around the globe, much of which has been presented at previous GHGT conferences. R&D on CCS is as important as ever; not only to address questions/ issues that arise from the demonstration projects but also to assess new capture options that are moving from the lab to pilot scale in their ability to reduce the cost of capture and help bring down the overall cost of CCS. Focus is also turning to the infrastructure needs that will help implement large scale CCS deployment; what are issues such as levels of tolerable impurities,
business models amongst others.
