It’s not just the planet that’s heating up these days. We’re seeing intense activity in the carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) sector, and particularly in CO2 sequestration.

Join us next Wednesday (6/22 @ 12pm PST / 3pm EST) to hear how this sector is evolving from entrepreneurs and experts leading groundbreaking CO2 sequestration projects!

One of the most common questions asked when CO2 capture comes up is inevitably, “where do you put the CO2?” In this webinar, we’ll demystify a crucial sink for CO2: underground storage or sequestration. We’ll also cover where CO2 can be injected, what the costs are, and some of the exciting projects currently underway.

The second most common question that we’ll address is “how does it become a multi-billion dollar industry?”) We will discuss how the emerging carbon sequestration markets might evolve in the coming years. A huge range of factors have led to the growing surge in CO2 sequestration projects — including regulatory, policy, and technology drivers —and these will continue to change. Our panelists have been on the front lines of making early carbon sequestration projects happen, and we are excited for them to share their experiences!
