California Air Resources Board (ARB) Staff invites you to
participate in a series of technical discussions on the
development of our Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS)
program.
 

In order to ensure staff is using the best available information
and understands stakeholder concerns, we will be hosting a series
of technical discussions.  The CCS technical discussions will be
topic focused stakeholder-led discussions.  The intent is to
allow interested parties to provide input that will inform
development of the CCS quantification methodology, as well as the
CCS program generally.  ARB will identify subject areas and
specific questions, with the expectation that stakeholders will
provide presentations, or other materials, and participate in an
open discussion.  

Accounting Protocol Technical Discussion

The accounting protocol technical discussion is meant to achieve
a better understanding of the merits and shortcomings of existing
CCS accounting protocols as well as issues and uncertainties
related to the development and implementation of CCS accounting
protocols. 

DATE:      Tuesday April 5, 2016
TIME:      9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
LOCATION:  Sierra Hearing Room
ADDRESS:   Cal/EPA Headquarters Building
           1001 "I" Street
           Sacramento, California 95814
           Well Integrity Technical Discussion

The well integrity technical discussion will focus on what needs
to be considered to ensure that well integrity (on both newly
drilled injection wells and legacy wells within the CCS project
area) is maintained throughout a CCS project.  

DATE:      Thursday April 28, 2016
TIME:      9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
LOCATION:  Sierra Hearing Room
ADDRESS:   Cal/EPA Headquarters Building
           1001 "I" Street
           Sacramento, California 95814

Please see ARB’s CCS website at
http://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/ccs/ccs.htm for information on
participating in and presenting at the discussion series,
including webinar access and in-person participation.  ARB will
post topic questions that are intended to guide stakeholder
presentations and the discussion approximately 30 days prior to
each discussion.  

If you have questions about the Technical Discussions, please
contact Ms. Johanna Levine, Staff Air Pollution Specialist, at
(916) 322-3499 or via email at Johanna.Levine@arb.ca.gov or Ms.
Sara King, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323 1009 or

Background:  Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is an
important strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and
mitigate climate change.  CCS is a process by which large amounts
of carbon dioxide (CO2) are captured, compressed, transported,
and sequestered.  ARB is currently developing a quantification
methodology to be utilized when determining carbon emission
reductions from CCS for both the Cap and Trade and Low Carbon
Fuel Standard programs.  Studies by the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) and the California Council on Science
and Technology (CCST), have shown that CCS has the potential to
reduce carbon emissions by millions of metric tons, and may be an
integral part of meeting California’s long term climate goals.
