Sessions with this speaker:
Building a fully integrated CCUS value chain is essential to its success.
How do different types of emitters shape the CCUS value chain?
A successful CCUS value chain must accommodate a wide range of emission sources, from large industrial hubs to mid-sized regional clusters and smaller, distributed emitters. This session will explore the characteristics of these different sources, the infrastructure needed to transport and store their CO₂, and how collaboration across sectors can accelerate deployment.
