CCUS from Capture to Sequestration to Climate Modelling: Needs, Urgencies, and Requirements
Date: 25 November 2024 to 7 December 2024 (Last date for registration: 20th November, 2024)
Timings: 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Venue: Indian Institute of Technology, Madras
Introduction
United Nations had identified climate change as one of the goals that require immediate action, followed by the Paris Agreement being signed in 2016 to initiate global action and cooperation between countries. As global temperatures rise due to the release of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, in the atmosphere, CCUS offers a promising solution to reduce emissions from industrial processes. By capturing, storing and/or utilizing CO2, CCUS can help mitigate the impacts of climate change, including rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss. Additionally, CCUS can contribute to achieving net-zero emission targets, which are essential for stabilizing the climate and protecting the planet for future generations.
This course will introduce the participants to the impact of climate change with tangible data and analysis. Factors affecting the sustainability in economic, climate and environmental justice shall be highlighted. The GHG emission and energy demand have been correlated. Geosystems, storage and utilization, along with CO2 capture techniques will be discussed. The supply chain involved in the CO2 supply and storage sites shall be introduced. Current policies governing the CCUS and UNSDG shall be discussed.
