The pan-European scientific community working for sustainable CO2 geological storage (CGS)
17 April 2012 - 19 April 2012
Austria
Building on the sound foundation of CO2GeoNet, the European Network of Excellence on CO2 Geological Storage, the EU-FP7 coordination action CGS Europe has led to establishing a pan-European scientific body composed of 34 key research institutes over 28 countries. Efforts are pooled to tackle the storage part of the CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) chain across the whole of Europe to support widespread understanding of the technology and foster knowledge development and sharing. Four main domains of activity are covered: research, information and communication, scientific advice and capacity building. The aim is to support the sustainable implementation of the large-scale demonstration and deployment of CCS and to underpin the implementation of the EU Directive on the geological storage of carbon dioxide.
The highlight of the calendar year is the annual CO2GeoNet Open Forum in Venice, where stakeholders and the scientific community gather to debate on new knowledge recent developments and remaining challenges. This year, the Open Forum will focus on "European CO2 storage research: major results and future perspectives".
Agenda:
17-18 April: CO2GeoNet Open Forum - "EU research programmes and international research cooperation"
19 April: CGS Europe knowledge-sharing workshop on "National research programmes"
For those involved or interested in the geological storage of CO2, the Venice Open Forum provides a unique opportunity to:
-meet and interact directly with Europe's largest network of researchers on CO2 geological storage;
-catch up on the latest scientific findings in CO2 storage research;
-exchange with other CCS stakeholders: operators, regulators, NGOs...;
-hear presentations on research, demo experiences, regulatory issues, international networks, etc...;
-learn more about the international CCS scene and players.
