Virtual Event Series 2020 - 2021

The digital journey continues 08 October 2020!

Registration for our Virtual Event Series is open! We are delivering high quality presentations directly to you, our members, for free in the comfort of your home or office. Be part of our digital journey continuing on 08 October 2020 with the first of our Young Professional Sessions.

Our next sessions



Our previous session

 

A Huge Thank you to our Panellists; Jay Habayeb, Keiren Lake, Graham Mason and Gerd Modes for taking part in our Panel Discussion on 24 September 2020.

We would also like to extend a special Thank you to Sumedha Sharma for expertly fielding your questions and helping us to gain an insight into what COVID-19 will mean for our industry now and in the next 18 months.

Did you miss the session? Our Panel Discussion is available for GPA Europe members to watch on our website here.
 

AGM and Technical Meeting

We have made the difficult decision to hold our AGM and Technical Meeting virtually in 2020. With how the COVID-19 situation has been over the past few months, we cannot be sure we could hold a physical AGM securely and safely for our members.

We will still be bringing you our usual AGM alongside two high quality papers. The Agenda will be sent out to Company Representatives over the coming week.

 

Sponsorship

GPA Europe would like to thank our sponsors:

Paper of the Month

A new feature for us, we will be highlighting a paper of relevance from our archives each month.

This month we are looking back to our Young Professional Training Day 2019 and a presentation from Javier F. de la Fuente, Fluor Amsterdam and Nick Amott, Fluor Ltd UK:

"Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage, is it the Holy Grail toward a sustainable energy system?"

With our first Young Professional Virtual Session focusing on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage, we take you back to when Javier F. de la Fuente and Nick Amott provided a presentation from the perspective of a Young Engineer and the views of “Millennial’s” looking to the future, perhaps tempered by the retrospective of a “Baby Boomer”.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has globally been declared the planet’s public enemy. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the short-term and, more importantly, Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in the long-term are perhaps the most relevant strategies worldwide to reverse the increasing emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere. Of course, whilst Carbon Capture might be perceived as an “end of pipe” solution to address climate change, it must also be viewed in the context of rapidly dealing with the mitigation of CO2 emissions and the burgeoning application of green, renewable and zero carbon energy sources. A number of promising CCU projects have been successful at a demonstration-scale including: (1) producing liquid hydrocarbons (e.g. methanol) from CO2, water and electricity; (2) making polyurethanes, polyols and polycarbonates from CO2 as feedstock; and (3) using CO2 to accelerate the carbonation of waste residues to produce construction materials. One of the key components for these technologies to become industrially scalable and economically feasible is the capacity to capture and purify CO2 at a competitive cost. Existing carbon capture technologies, such as amine plants, membranes and physical solvents and their applications are compared to technologies currently under development including the concept of air to fuels, which has been intensively developed by Carbon Engineering, and the use of enzymes as a catalyst to cheaply absorb CO2.
