Audience members raise their hands to ask questions at the 2016 Alaska Rural Energy Conference in Fairbanks.
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? For answers, join the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Alaska Center for Energy and Power and partners for a town hall discussion on CCUS.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19, in the Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center, 101 Dunkel Street, in Fairbanks. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
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 resources and providing regulatory oversight. A Q&A session will follow.
Science, technology, engineering and math activities for youth will be hosted by partners at Alaska Resource Education in the foyer during the town hall. Snacks will be provided for kids.
