arbcombo -- Carbon Capture and Sequestration Technical Discussion Series
Posted: 15 Mar 2016 16:09:04
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 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 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. California is in a drought emergency. Visit www.SaveOurH2O.org for water conservation tips.
