SPE WA Reducing Net Carbon Footprint Webinar: Prospects and Challenges for Carbon Capture and Storage: A California Perspective
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a critical technology for deep decarbonization of the electricity and industrial sectors. As the 5th largest economy in the world, California is an interesting case study for examining the role that CCUS can play in achieving its ambitious mandate for a zero emission electrical grid by 2045 and goals for economy wide net zero emissions by 2045. In this talk Professor Sally Benson will discuss prospects for CCUS in electricity and industry decarbonization, national and state-level incentives for CCUS, and the technical potential for CO2 storage. While prospects for the role that CCUS can play are very good, there are also many challenges that will also be discussed.
