CO2 Capture and Storage Regional Awareness-Raising Workshop - 13-14 June 2012
Middle East Technical University, Ankara, TURKEY
CGS Europe, the “Pan-European Coordination Action on the Geological Storage of CO2” is delighted to announce its 2nd Regional Awareness-Raising Workshop on CO2 Capture and Storage. The aim of the workshop is to provide a basic overview and status of the CCS concept in Europe, the Middle East and in Turkey. It will bring together experts from leading research institutions and companies to share their knowledge with other stakeholders on various CCS issues.
CGS Europe is a networking project that aims to share the expertise of 34 key research institutes from 28 countries (24 European Member States and 4 Associated Countries). The project is funded through the EC FP7 programme. The ultimate aim of the project is to form an independent, scientific, pan-European platform where national, European and international experts, institutes and regulators can access the up-to-date results of CO2 storage-related studies, share experiences and good practices, discuss the implementation of regulations, identify research needs to face upcoming challenges, and build new projects.
