A focus on the decarbonization ecosystem
The Innovation Agora Carbon Hub is a dedicated space in which energy industry stakeholders in the decarbonization ecosystem convene to exchange insights on innovations to abate GHG emissions and to remove CO2 from the atmosphere in pursuit of net zero goals.
In open amphitheater panels, leading experts from across the energy and energy-intensive industries and innovation ecosystem share ideas, experiences and learnings on how to implement and scale solutions which reduce GHG emissions using technology, new business models and the enablers available from financing, policy and market support.
Topics and key questions to be explored include:
-
Reducing industrial Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissionsWhat are the learnings from efforts to decarbonize the Oil and Gas chain, mining and other energy intensive industries?
-
Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)How to accelerate the scaling and reduction of costs of CCUS and CDR
-
MethaneWhat are best practices in detecting, measuring and verifying methane emissions?
-
Bio-energyWhat is the next level of impact from bio-energy, for example in aviation, or waste-to-energy?
-
Business models, Finance
How can different financial and corporate sources best support the development of low carbon innovations? -
Low carbon technologiesWhat are the emerging digital AI and other breakthrough technologies to enhance the impact of low carbon solutions?
