Decarbonization in the Oil & Gas Sector
August 22 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Date: August 22, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM CST
Event Format: Live Webinar – Microsoft Teams
Hosting Organization: APEGS – A Member-Led Live Webinar Series Presentation
Event Summary: In recent years, Canada has introduced its plan for 2050 net-zero emissions goals with the aim to make the Canadian economy either emit no greenhouse gas emissions or offset these emissions. One of the methods to achieve these goals is employing technologies that can capture carbon emission before it is vented into the atmosphere. In Canada, the oil and gas sector is the highest emitting sector and adopting the decarbonization solution is not an easy task due to many reasons. However, the most pressing reasons are the lack of understanding of carbon capture technologies and the shortage of skilled engineers in this space. This webinar will provide engineers with the fundamentals to better understand the carbon capture processes with focus on those technologies, which are ready and suitable for both small and large emitting facilities.
