Welcome to CCUS2018-Applied Energy Symposium and Forum 2018: Carbon capture, utilization and storage.

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is vital for reducing emissions across the energy system in both the Energy Technology Perspectives (ETP) 2°C Scenario (2DS) and the Beyond 2°C Scenario (B2DS). The CCUS2018, with theme of “Advancing CCUS through global cooperation”, is to provide a platform focused on carbon capture, utilization and storage, covering the topics of post-combustion carbon capture, pre-combustion carbon capture, oxyfuel combustion carbon capture; CO₂ transport; CO₂ utilization including EOR; CO₂ geological storage; full-chain CCUS demonstration project design; CO₂ monitoring; geomechanics;and negative emissions. The organizers are particularly interested in demonstrations of advancing CCUS deployment and research through global cooperation.

The event consists of two-day symposium for sharing the most recent progress of research in carbon capture, utilization and storage, as well as a one-day field trip.

The CCUS2018 is organized by The International Journal of Applied Energy, Geoscience Australia, Applied Energy Innovation Institute (AEii), and The Administrative Centre of China’s Agenda 21 (ACCA21), and co-organized by Future Energy Profile/Mälardalen University Sweden.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Perth, Australia.
