Webinar — A Low-Carbon Future and the Role of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage

To reach the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement, global CO₂ emissions must be reduced by more than 80% from current levels by 2050. This will require a portfolio of solutions that includes conservation, efficiency, new technologies and innovative approaches. Leveraging existing infrastructure will be central to keeping the cost of energy transitions manageable, as will developing new supply chains to facilitate successful transitions. Capturing CO₂ and developing a carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) value chain will be a critical part of the journey.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) is the largest supplier in the carbon capture business and has been developing CCUS technology for over 30 years. MHI is currently in the design stages of the world’s first negative-emissions project with a capacity of at least 8 million tons of CO₂ annually.

MHI and the Baker Institute Center for Energy Studies (CES) hosted a discussion with Jerrad Thomas, business development manager at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Kenneth B. Medlock III, senior director of CES, on how CCUS can be used to decarbonize sectors such as coal, cement, LNG, marine resources and more. They also discussed MHI’s CCUS value chain framework — the Breeze CONCEPT — and its three areas: CO₂NTAIN, CO₂NNECT, and CO₂NVERT.
