About Knowledge Bars

Attendees will gain a comprehensive overview of current innovations and economic drivers in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Topics include advancements in post-combustion CO₂ capture technologies, system optimization for various industrial sources, and integration with existing operations. Insights on deep saline storage and the role of advanced monitoring and verification techniques will be highlighted. Presentations will also cover the economic viability of CCUS projects, comparing policy and incentive frameworks across jurisdictions, and examining investment trends in carbon dioxide

Companies presenting in this theatre include: Baker Hughes, BASF, GLJ Ltd., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., OptiSeis Solutions Ltd., the Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC), Rystad Energy, among others.

Attendees will walk away with practical knowledge and technical insights across the CCUS value chain. Participants will gain foundational understanding of carbon capture technologies, explore innovations in post-combustion CO₂ removal, and examine key factors influencing the cost of capture. Sessions will also address operational challenges such as managing off-spec fluids and enhancing system resilience. Additional presentations will focus on engineering solutions for large-scale capture infrastructure, the development of open-access CO₂ transportation and storage hubs, and regulatory considerations related to induced seismicity and fluid disposal in geological formations.
