CO2 capture and storage : its role for climate change mitigation

Synthesis

How are engineers challenged by the climate change issue ? The toolbox to fight against climate changeThe case of CCS (CO2 Capture and Storage)
CCS and power generation,
CCS and Energy Intensive Industries
Cement, steel, refining, hydrogen, chemicals, waste to energy, fertilizers.
CCS and fossil energy producing companies
CCS and countries with oil and gas and coal reserves.
Why and how does CCS create value for the whole society?
Discussion on value versus costs
Is CCS in competition with other tools against climate change or a complement to those tools ?
What are the main stakeholders of CCS development?
Differentiation and similarities between developed and emerging countries
Geographical comparisons
Differentiation and similarities between fossil energy consuming and producing countries?
Examples of projects
Lacq and Rousse
Large scale projects in operation
Large scale projects under studies
Focus on hydrogen.
R&D challenges
The role of engineers in the fight against climate change
The role of Energy Intensive Industries or of Fossil Energy producers in the fight against climate change.

Objectives

Help future engineers and managers to better appreciate the potential of the tools to mitigate climate change.Focus on CO2 capture and storage. Show how CCS complements rather than is in competition with other tools like renewable energies or energy efficiency.Make those of them who are the most sensitive to climate change understand that a necessary condition for the success in fighting against climate change is the commitments of the most qualified of them.
