• Algal biofuels as a new revenue stream for CO2 capture
• Impact of the Carbon Principles
• Regulators’ views

About the Summit

Carbon capture is the choke-point for the future of coal generation. As political consensus towards greenhouse gas control coalesces, it becomes increasingly unlikely that any new coal-fired projects will be permitted unless they are “capture-ready”—or at least “capture-capable.” The question now becomes:

• What are the trade-offs between capture investments versus other CO2 reduction levers?
• Which capture methods can be most effectively scaled up and replicated?
• How to reduce their energy/cost burden

Now in its second year, Infocast’s Carbon Capture Status and Outlook is the only meeting dedicated to the business of carbon capture. This event offers a new focus on capture pilot projects—domestic and international (Australia and Spain) – as well as the prospects for an alternative to Enhanced Oil Recovery by selling CO2 to algae biofuel producers.

All three broad approaches to the capture challenge – oxyfuel, post-combustion and IGCC – and a range of technology solutions for oxyfuel and post-combustion will be profiled, as well as an innovative approach to sequestration of CO2 via cement production. Owners and developers of coal generation assets must understand the complex pros and cons of these technology options before making multi-million (or billion) dollar implementation bets.

In addition, impacts of varying approaches to cap and trade policy on coal gen economics, independent engineering assessments, perspectives from the DOE, and from the finance, equity and venture capital communities will provide the most comprehensive briefing available on exactly where the “clean coal” industry stands today, and what strategic steps it can take towards a viable future.
