Confronted with the biggest and most difficult global challenge to mankind, efforts are intensifying to move away from fossil-based energy sources to zero-carbon energies. This transition to renewable energy resources and lowering of carbon dioxide emission to the atmosphere must happen at an unprecedented pace in order to have the desired effect. In this regard, urgent research in some major areas and technologies is needed. Many of these research questions are related to porous media phenomena.
Onno van Kessel, General Manager CCS (Development & Subsurface) at Shell, will provide a plenary lecture entitled, "Energy transition and porous media; an industrial megaproject perspective."
During a lunch forum, a panel of experts will engage in a discussion with the participants regarding the current urgent research needs in various energy transition technologies and methodologies.
We invite all participants to go through the slides (linked below) and pose any questions they have via the forum's Whova Q&A. The questions will be will be discussed during the lunch forum on Tuesday.
Lecture & Panel Chair: Ann Muggeridge, Imperial College
Panelists:
- Onno van Kessel, Shell Energy Transition and Porous Media: An industrial megaproject perspective
- Aimy Bazylak, University of Toronto Electrochemical devices for hydrogen production and energy production
- Michelle Bentham, British Geological Survey Geothermal Energy
- Martin Blunt, Imperial College Research needs in gas storage
- Lynn Orr, Stanford University CCUS: What else do we need for deployment at large scale?
