arbcombo -- Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technical Discussion Series
Posted: 01 Sep 2016 11:56:43
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 are hosting a series of technical discussions. The CCS technical discussions are 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. This announcement is for two different technical discussions that will be held back to back on September 26 and September 27 of 2016. Site Selection Technical Discussion The site selection technical discussion will discuss traits that should be considered when evaluating the suitability of a site for CCS injection and specific requirements of the site that may be needed to ensure permanent CO2 sequestration. DATE: Monday, September 26, 2016 TIME: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. LOCATION: Conference Room 550 ADDRESS: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building 1001 "I" Street Sacramento, California 95814 Health and Environmental Risks and Environmental Justice Technical Discussion The health and environmental risks and environmental justice technical discussion will provide a forum for identifying health and environmental risks and an opportunity to discuss environmental justice concerns that may be associated with CCS projects. DATE: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 TIME: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. LOCATION: Conference Room 550 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. Sara King, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323 1009 or Sara.King@arb.ca.gov 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 for CCS. The CCS QM may be adopted for use in the Cap-and-Trade and Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs as determined appropriate in rulemaking(s) specific to these 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. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.
