Objectives

The International Symposium about Capture and Storage of CO2 will be held December 4-5, 2008 at Obra Social de Cajasol (C/Laraña, 4), in Seville, Spain.

The Symposium is organized by the CENIT CO2 (National Strategic Consortium for CO2 Technical Research). This event is focused on CO2 capture, transport and storage technologies, with the aim to provide a forum for share experience between the different communities involved in these technologies and systems development, promoting dialogue and providing a global vision of these technologies state-of-art.

Symposium topics

• Economic, social and legal aspects of CCS.

• Combustion efficiency: co-firing, gasification, use of liquid biofuels, direct reduction of CO₂ emissions.reducción directa de CO₂ through combustion efficiency, etc.
• CO₂ capture technologies: calcination-carbonation cycles, oxycombustion, physical adsorption, chemical absorption, etc.
• CO₂ storage technologies: characterization, selection, control and monitoring of geological and ocean storage. 
• CO₂ valorisation: polymer production, methane and methanol production, use in greenhouses, CO₂ absorption through photosynthetic organisms and subsequent transformation to biomass or bioethanol, etc.
