Description
This workshop addresses key monitoring challenges in CO2 storage at an industrial scale, including needs and requirements for Measurement Monitoring and Verification (MMV) plans, experiences and examples from field sites and different monitoring solutions.
Participants will hear from operators currently running/developing CO2 storage projects, from regulators sharing their thoughts on MMV requirements and feedback on licensing/permitting processes, and experts discussing state-of-the-art monitoring methods including adaptive and innovative technologies available to meet CO2 storage monitoring needs. Gain insights from industry leaders, regulators, and technology innovators advancing CO2 storage monitoring standards.
Sub-Topics that will be covered in the workshop:
Monitoring Requirements: Regulatory and operator needs for MMV, including updates from permitting rounds and site-specific challenges.
Field Experience: Lessons from historical projects and research, emphasizing the use of monitoring data for improved understanding of storage.
Existing Monitoring Solutions: Overview of Innovative and adaptive monitoring technologies that could meet MMV requirements with field trial and real case study.
Future Innovations: Exploration of emerging, lower-TRL solutions and challenges for large-scale and complex environments.
Participant Profile
This workshop is ideal for anyone involved in Measurement, Monitoring, and Verification (MMV) for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), or those seeking best practices in geophysical monitoring of CO2 storage. Whether you’re a regulator, operator, researcher, service provider, bank, insurance company, or public entity, you’ll gain valuable insights and practical knowledge on CO2 storage surveillance and risk management.
