Goals to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will result in changes to the energy industry in fossil fuel producing and power generating states such as Wyoming.  Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnerships have been established and legislation has been enacted in individual states to address options for carbon capture and stable sequestration.  These initiatives bring to the forefront both the challenges and opportunities for sequestration in Wyoming 

 

This symposium will address the following issues

· Sources and sinks for CO₂ in Wyoming.

· Technologies for capturing CO₂ for sequestration.

· CO₂ sequestration for beneficial uses, such as enhanced oil recovery and enhanced coal bed methane production.

· CO₂ storage in saline aquifers and abandoned oil and gas fields.

· Infrastructure needs for CO₂ sequestration.

· Measurement, monitoring and validation requirements for stable carbon sequestration.

· Risks and liabilities related to sequestered CO₂.

· Economics of CO₂ sequestration and its impact on power generation costs

 

The symposium is free, but registration is required.
