This free, morning-long, conference is presented by the Center for Energy Policy and Management and will include panel discussions on the basics of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), Pennsylvania’s efforts to regulate this emerging industry, and proposed CCS activity in the Appalachian region.
This event offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, strategies, and solutions in carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies.
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions and network with professionals working in the carbon capture space.
Carbon capture and sequestration is a promising technology that can play a key role in reaching global climate goals, by capturing carbon dioxide emissions and storing them deep underground in identified geologic formations.
Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas emitted through burning fossil fuels and traps heat in the atmosphere.
A panel representing the ARCH2 Hydrogen Hub project in the tri-state area will give a presentation of its associated CCS plans.
ARCH2 was one of seven regional hub projects selected for Department of Energy funding to develop clean hydrogen network of production, delivery, and end users.
A representative of Tenaska will also speak about its Tri-State CCS Hub project in the Appalachian region, which is currently in the pre-development phase.
In addition, Kurt Klapkowski, Department of Environmental Resources Deputy Secretary for Oil and Gas Management, will be part of a panel talking about recent state legislation that established a framework for carbon sequestration regulation.
Whether you're a seasoned expert or new to the conversation around carbon reduction, this conference will equip you with the knowledge, connections, and inspiration needed to discuss carbon capture and its impact on Appalachia.
The event begins at 8:00 a.m. at Yost Auditorium with registration and will conclude by 12:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
