Kenai Town Hall Meeting Jan. 23: Carbon capture, use and storage in Alaska
ACEP’s Gwen Holdmann passes the microphone to an audience member during the Q&A session at a town hall meeting in Fairbanks in November 2024.
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.
Engaging, science-based activities for youth will be hosted by our partners at Alaska Resource Education in the foyer during the town hall. Bring your school-aged children along for an evening filled with learning and fun. Snacks will be provided for children.
When: 6 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 23 (Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.)
Where: Challenger Learning Center of Alaska, 9711 Kenai Spur Highway, Kenai
