Carbon Capture and Storage: An Emissions Reduction Solution the world can’t afford to ignore!
Carbon Dioxide Capture & Sequestration is increasingly looking like the do-or-die challenge for the traditional energy sector deriving from fossil fuels, as well as other major emitting industries.
Businesses are fast realising that Carbon Capture & Storage is the solution they can no longer ignore, and are becoming increasingly committed towards developing Carbon Capture & Storage capabilities to reduce emissions.
There are already over 30 CCS demonstration projects in the pipeline across the globe.
In Energy hungry Asia, there is an even stronger need to discuss, debate and more critically DEVELOP climate change mitigation measures, especially since this is the region where gross CO2 emissions are especially high!
Despite these challenges, Asia also represents a huge opportunity to develop viable CO2 capture, storage & utilization capabilities.
That’s why we’re putting together the timely CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization conference, which will be held in Beijing, China on 5-6 March 2009.
CO2 Capture, Sequestration & Utilization conference in Beijing will dig deep into technological advancements, investor outlook & regulatory environment in the CO2 value chain as a solution for CO2 emission reduction.
Today Asia confronts one of the most urgent challenges of the decade: how to tackle major climate change issues while providing the energy its growing population needs to fuel economic growth.
The CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization conference aims to serve as a starting point for the development of the carbon capture & storage industry across Asia.
To be held on 5-6 March 2009 in Beijing, CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization is Asia’s FIRST MAJOR CONFERENCE TO PROVIDE A GLOBAL LOOK at the CO2 Capture Solution, with focus on key technical, economic, financial and policy developments in implementing carbon capture for power plants and other major heavy emissions industries.
The conference will be held in Beijing, to pay homage to China’s increasing interest in reducing CO2 emissions and developing their Carbon Capture & Storage capabilities to complement their upcoming coal conversion industry.
Participation at CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization will assure you of 9 KEYs to Unlock Asia’s Carbon Capture & Storage potential. These KEYS have been put together to increase your understanding of the CO2 Capture & Storage and CO2 Utilization sectors and add value to green your investments thus adding value to them!

KEY 3: Details on latest Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects in Algeria, China & Norway.
The use of carbon dioxide for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) represents the first generation of carbon sequestration technology, where existing oil and gas infrastructure was utilized to provide a solution to reducing CO2 in the environment, as well as increasing output from oil and gas wells.
EOR is a very viable method of CCS, and is currently being adopted by some of the largest project developers including Shell, BP, Statoil and Enviro Energy International Holdings Ltd.
BP, which has been effectively using EOR since the 1970s, in considered the pioneer in the field. At CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization, you will hear perspectives from BP alternative energy on the company’s EOR experience in Algeria.
You will also hear from Shell on their upcoming EOR projects in Norway’s offshore oil and gas fields, and from Enviro Energy International Holdings Ltd, which is currently lending their expertise to China to assist the country in developing CO2 sequestration capabilities for ECBM/EOR projects.

KEY 4: Understand how emission trading mechanism can incentivise CCS project or utilization of CO2.
Will the CCS qualify for CDM and the emissions trading?
UN negotiators have not yet been able to agree and approve on whether, or how, carbon capture and storage projects should be allowed under the CDM.
However there is keen interest in the technology, which is receiving endorsement and support from governments and intergovernmental organizations.
It will be a matter of time before the Carbon Capture & Storage is eligible for CDM and CERs.
At CO2 Capture, Storage & Utilization, you will hear from Peter Ho, General Manager of EcoSecurities Group China, how emissions trading can incentivise CCS , and how to align your CCS project for eligibility for CDM status, when the issue will be revisited in the near future.
