On Friday 18th September 2020 at 10:00 to 11:00 CEST (which is 9-10am BST), CCUS Projects Network is holding a webinar.
Despite the current coronavirus situation, governments and industry are looking to the future and a green recovery. To maintain jobs and drive economies whilst achieving net zero targets we need to explore routes to decarbonising industrial production. For key sectors, such as cement and steel, one of the favoured routes to the deep emission reductions required is through carbon capture and storage (CCS). This webinar will highlight two projects that are already developing capture projects on cement and steel, respectively, and enable webinar participants to engage with these projects and ask questions of the speakers.

On Thursday 17 September 2020, 11:00-12:00 CEST (10.00-11.00 BST), the STRATEGY CCUS project is holding a webinar, ‘Mapping stakeholder views on CCUS technologies in Southern and Eastern Europe: An insight into societal awareness and acceptance of CCUS in the promising regions‘.
This webinar from IEAGHG on 8th September 2020 at 2pm BST will look at the recent IEAGHG study on the Value of Emerging and Enabling Technologies in Reducing Costs, Risks & Timescales for CCS (report number 2020-05, published July 2020 and contracted out to Element Energy). This work was a horizon scanning exercise aiming to understand the relevance of digital and enabling technologies for CCS and assess what benefits these technologies could offer to the large-scale deployment of CCS.
Current R&D into the reduction of costs, risks, timescales and challenges in CCS primarily focuses on conventional improvement methods; emerging and enabling technologies have the potential to offer more opportunities for cost and risk reduction.
Panelists:
- Sam Neades (facilitator) Technology Analyst, IEAGHG
- Katherine Orchard, Senior Consultant, Element Energy
‘Regulation, Industry and Research – Translating Monitoring Research to Meet Commercial Needs’ – 12th August 2020 at 10pm BST.
IEAGHG is pleased to announce that there will be a webinar held to continue the work of the IEAGHG Monitoring Network through this summer. The Monitoring Network aims to assess new technologies and techniques as they become available, determine the limitations, accuracy and applicability of monitoring techniques, disseminate information from research and storage projects around the world, as well as to engage with relevant regulatory bodies.
This webinar will be a virtual discussion panel with the theme of informing regulators, looking at ‘Regulation, Industry and Research – Translating Monitoring Research to Meet Commercial Needs’. Our panellists comprise different CO2 storage monitoring stakeholders; operators, regulators and researchers.
The aim of the webinar is to discuss the translation of CO2 geological storage monitoring research into regulations and commercial-scale projects. It will begin with a scene setting presentation and framing questions. There will then be discussion, with operator, regulator and research representatives from the US, Australia, and Norway to answer questions from the audience and provoke thoughtful discussion.
This webinar is an ideal opportunity for all stakeholders actively engaged in CO2 geological storage projects and practical research in monitoring to share and learn about how the information from research and our Monitoring Networks can be used to meet commercial needs.
07:00 EDT – 12:00 BST – 13:00 CET – 20:00 JST
The Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project, a cornerstone of Japan’s efforts in CCS technology development, has reached an important milestone, achieving its target of 300 thousand tonnes of CO2 injected in November 2019. The Japanese Government has just released a Summary Report, outlining the project’s main results, lessons learned, and future issues. This webinar will provide an overview of the Summary Report and a preview of the outlook for CCUS in the context of Japan’s energy strategy.
Agenda:
Welcome and opening remarks – Brian Allison, CEM CCUS Initiative Co-Lead | Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, United Kingdom
Summary Report of Tomakomai CCS Demonstration Project – Yoshihiro Sawada, General Manager, and Jiro Tanaka, Associate General Manager | International Affairs Department, Japan CCS Co., Ltd.
Future Outlook and Strategy for CCUS in Japan – Deputy Director, Global Environmental Affairs Office | Industrial Science and Technology Policy and Environment Bureau, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI)

On Thursday 25 June 2020 10:00 – 11:00 CEST (09:00 – 10:00 UK time), the multi-partner ALIGN-CCUS is holding project unites science and industry in a shared goal of transforming six European industrial regions into economically robust, low-carbon centres by 2025.
The seventh webinar from the ALIGN-CCUS project will describe outputs from Work Package 1, which has focused on the market readiness of carbon capture technology for both power and industrial applications. Work to date has involved testing campaigns at cutting-edge research facilities in order to improve the environmental and economic performance of CO2 capture technology.
The speakers will provide an overview of guidelines developed specifically for CCS operators and other stakeholders. They will cover topics such as guidelines cover emissions control, solvent management and derisking process dynamics and control.
Project coordinator, Peter van Os (TNO), will chair the event, which includes an opportunity to ask questions of an expert panel:
- Hanne Kvamsdal, WP1 lead, SINTEF
- Juliana Monteiro, TNO
- Georg Wiechers, RWE
- Thor Mejdell, SINTEF

On Thursday 25th June 2020, from 09.00 to 10.00 GMT, IEAGHG is hosting a free webinar.
In this webinar, Monica Garcia (IEAGHG), Regina Sander (CSIRO Energy), and Paul Feron (CSIRO Energy), will discuss the motivation and results of the IEAGHG technical study ‘Understanding the cost of reducing water usage in coal and gas fired power plants with CCS’, carried out by CSIRO.
In particular, the speakers will explain the background of this study, the Water-Energy-CCS nexus, its implementation in several regions with different levels of water scarcity, and strategies to reduce the water consumption on power plants with CCS.
This study presents hypothetical case studies based in the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia, China and India. The case studies examine the water requirements of thermal power stations with different cooling systems and how these are affected by the addition of CO2 capture. As a strategy to reduce the abstraction of freshwater to meet a power station’s water demand the use of recycled formation water extracted for the purpose of storing CO2 is assessed.
The case studies provide an improved understanding of the costs of extracting and recycling formation water and the conditions under which this may prove beneficial.
Speakers:
- Monica Garcia (IEAGHG)
- Regina Sander (CSIRO Energy)
- Paul Feron (CSIRO Energy)
The webinar will be moderated by James Craig, IEAGHG.
