What industrials need to know about co2 transport and storage with Malc Kent, CGG

CCS drives discussion whether you’re for it, against it or just hope it’s a solution you’ll be able to use. In this episode, Alex Cameron talks with Malc Kent to get to the heart of the questions that industrial members of the Decarbonization Leaders Network ask, specifically:

o What do we really know about the safety and security of long term underground storage?

o Are we learning much from previous project successes, failures or issues?

o Could industrials store co2 underground on or in close proximity to their sites?

o How do the costs of an average CCS project breakdown? How does MK see this changing over the next decade as more projects come on line?

More than this, you’ll hear Malc’s view on the emerging global locations that have momentum when it comes to Co2 storage and what CGG are doing to join the dots of the value chain and participants in this nascent market. You’ll also hear about the timeline and big steps needed to get to a fully functioning market place for co2 storage.

No industrial thinks CCS is their sole solution, but with many in energy-intensive sectors looking to the technology as a pillar of their multi-stranded (and multi-location) roadmap these are essential discussion points.
