The 2012 Conference program follows in the footsteps of the past 10 events, with an added emphasis this year on potential utilization of anthropogenic carbon emissions that is reflected in the new name of the conference. The focus is on systems and technologies that are being or could be deployed in the U.S. and North America. Last year’s Conference was a ‘watershed’ event, attracting 170 technical paper presentations and 100 posters selected from 350 submitted abstracts. Attendees represented more than 250 private companies and 150 academic institutions.
The Conference is co-sponsored with the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Energy Technology Laboratory. Cooperating organizations include National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC), the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme, the United States Energy Association, the United States Carbon Sequestration Council, the North American Carbon Capture and Storage Association and the Global CCS Institute.
