Session: Mitigating GHGs – Challenges, Opportunities and a Realistic Path Forward

Carbon sequestration and other technological advances have evolved from theoretical applications to more technologically feasible solutions in recent years.  But what is considered economically achievable can vary, based on the time frame, geology, and location? Some companies have taken measurable steps forward, revealing both challenges and opportunities.  Efforts to mitigate GHGs is gaining traction in policy debates and in board rooms, and industry leaders must consider their own path forward, understanding the risks, benefits, and regulatory considerations where they operate. Knowing these realities will help determine a project’s likelihood for success and secure the necessary support from the communities where these new technologies are implemented.
