Town Hall meeting will discuss carbon capture, use and storage in Alaska
An audience member asks a question at the 2016 Alaska Rural Energy Conference.
Momentum is growing for carbon capture, use and storage, or CCUS, as a key solution to reduce carbon emissions from industrial processes and fossil energy production.
But what exactly is CCUS? Why is it gaining attention now, and how is it being pursued in Alaska?
Join ACEP and partners for a town hall discussion on CCUS and learn how Alaska’s geology and new regulatory framework has the potential to support diverse carbon storage projects aligned with low carbon development. Panelists will include state and federal agencies charged with managing the state’s pore space resources and providing regulatory oversight. A Q&A session will follow.
STEM activities for youth will be hosted by our partners at Alaska Resource Education in the foyer during the town hall. Snacks will be provided for kids.
When: 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19 (Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.)
Where: Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center, 101 Dunkel Street, Fairbanks
