In a world striving for sustainability, the quest to tackle carbon emissions is more crucial than ever. Energy Voice Out Loud delves deep into the realm of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in a special podcast episode, featuring insights from industry experts Ellen Mitchell and Andy Moore from Sproule ERCE.
Ellen Mitchell, Sproule ERCE’s decarbonisation lead, sheds light on the driving forces behind CCS initiatives globally. She emphasizes how policies like carbon pricing and ambitious climate targets are propelling the adoption of CCS technologies to combat greenhouse gas emissions effectively.
Andy Moore, a principal reservoir engineer specializing in CCS, discusses the intricate technical aspects of subsurface storage. He highlights key factors such as storage capacity, injectivity rates, and containment strategies that play a vital role in ensuring the success and longevity of CCS projects worldwide.
The conversation doesn’t shy away from addressing the challenges that continue to loom over the CCS industry. From navigating complex regulatory frameworks to optimizing cost-efficiency and streamlining infrastructure development, there are various hurdles that must be overcome to realize the full potential of carbon capture and storage on a global scale.
As Ellen Mitchell aptly puts it,
“The journey towards sustainable carbon management requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders – governments, industries, and communities alike. We need to collaborate seamlessly to drive meaningful change.”
With an eye on landmark projects across Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific region, this EVOL episode serves as a compass guiding listeners through the evolving landscape of CCS deployment. It showcases how innovative solutions are transforming traditional energy practices while underlining the urgency for swift action in curbing carbon emissions.
Andy Moore echoes this sentiment by urging proactive measures:
“We cannot afford delays in implementing robust CCS strategies. The time to act is now if we want to secure a greener future for generations to come.”
From policy implications shaping market dynamics to cutting-edge technologies revolutionizing energy systems, Energy Voice Out Loud’s exploration of global carbon storage challenges offers invaluable insights into an industry at the forefront of environmental stewardship. Join us on this enlightening journey towards a sustainable tomorrow!
