Contrary to popular belief, the ongoing energy transition from a high to low carbon economy requires more than harnessing renewable energies. Currently, only 11% of global energy consumption comes from renewable energy while 85% comes from fossil fuels. The current pace of installing renewable power plants is inadequate for nations to achieve net-zero by the second half of the century. What each country needs to do is decarbonizing all three major energy consumptions sectors: power, transport and industry.

There are essentially five ways to achieve this. They are renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen, reducing energy demand by adoption of a circular economy, and nuclear energy. How each country will utilize these ways to go through the energy transition will depend on its specific energy mix and the need to balance energy security, affordability, and sustainability.

This seminar will show how CCS and hydrogen production are key to achieving net-zero in all three energy consumption sectors. Furthermore, there is enough storage capacity in the oil and gas reservoirs, and saline aquifers in the world to store two centuries of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission. We will present several case studies of large-scale CCS demonstration projects in Europe and Asia and discuss what is needed to take CCS to the next level of implementation.

All attendees are encouraged to register and pay online for this event. This is a more efficient means of registering for the event and enables the registration process at the meeting to move much faster. Walk-in space is available on a seat-limited basis at a fee more than the on-line registration fee.

NOTE:

To secure the health and safety of all attendees, SPE-GCS will apply the following Covid-19 safety protocol guidelines:

Masks, gloves and hand sanitizer will be available on site at the registration table
Attendees who are sick will not be permitted to enter the event. This is without exception.

Parking for this event

The TOTAL Plaza building (1201 Louisiana Street across from the Houston Hyatt Regency Hotel) is connected to the downtown Houston tunnel system. Using the tunnel system, those working downtown can walk to our meeting in air-conditioned comfort.

If you will drive to this meeting, the following summarizes available parking:

The image above shows how to access the club parking area at the new location of the Petroleum Club. Enter from Milam Street and exit onto Louisiana Street. Parking fee paid at central meter outside building entrance via credit card. Valet parking is also available - a $10 discount sticker is available at the registration table.

Surface parking lots are available to the south of the TOTAL Plaza building (between this building and the former EXXON Building), including one surface lot adjacent to the TOTAL Plaza Building - pay at meter (cost ~ $9). Other surface lots in the area cost $8 - $9 and they frequently are full by mid-morning.

Parking is also available in the Hyatt Regency Hotel parking garage across the street. Prices vary depending on time in the garage. Cost for 2 hours of parking is $12.
