CCS - decarbonizing industry and waste - virtual workshop

Workshop topics include:

Decarbonization pathways 

This session investigates and discusses alternative pathways towards the zero emission society and the measures required to make the industry and waste sector active players in this context. Both benefits for society and added costs are discussed.

Technology alternatives

A number of options are relevant for decarbonizing mechanical work, low temperature heat, high temperature heat, industrial processes and more. This includes CCS, energy efficiency, electrification, fuel switching (such as biofuels and blue or green hydrogen) and new processes and materials. Compensatory measures like bioCCS and DACCS may also be considered as a part of the overall solution. A central component is sector coupling and the interfaces between the energy system and other sectors in order to exploit synergies and flexibility across the economy.  Both timing, public acceptance and other technical and commercial challenges for the different options are relevant to discuss.

Barriers and needs

Central aspects in long-term strategies is to identify the barriers and gaps and measures to deal with them. Long-term research should be linked to short-term transition measures and the acceptability of such measures in the society. Today one of the central challenges is the adaptability of existing fossil-based business models when deep decarbonization strategies are expected to be developed. Such challenges are especially visible in respect to CCS when looking at how to share risk, cost and income.   Climate and market risk will also affect these. The purpose is to identify measures and their timing.

About the workshop

• We would like to involve the participants to identify and discuss the central questions and view all participants as equal contributors for each session. This meeting employs a modified Chatham House Rule.  
  
  Participants are free to use the information received during the meeting, but specific positions taken by individuals should not be attributed without expressed permission.  However, formal presentations, the meeting agenda, and the meeting participation list will become part of the public meeting

Workshop format:

• The workshop will be entirely online and follow webinar style format. The registered participants (by invitation only) will receive an invitation link the day prior to the workshop in order to login to the webinar telco tool.
