Call for Papers
We are seeking papers for our CCUS webinar. Be part of our webinar discussing the experiences and developments in CCUS. We are looking for papers regarding:
- Operational experience from existing CO2 capture facilities
- CCUS Technology developments related to;
- CO2 capture technologies
- Integration into industrial processes
- Direct air capture (DAC)
- CO2 transportation / storage
- Safety
- Updates from European / worldwide CCUS hubs;
- Current planned development status
- Development vision
Do you have a story to tell? All we need is a 100-200-word abstract. Send your abstract - Title, Author to [email protected]
It will be reviewed by our Technical Committee and, if accepted, we can help you to develop it into a technical paper and presentation.
Each year we present an award at our AGM for the best paper. The Best Paper Award is selected by our conference attendees and is based on the feedback scores received.
The Aungier Award is for the best paper presented by one of our Young Professionals at our conferences. The winner is decided by our Technical Committee. Alongside the award, the winner will get £1,000!
Could this be you?
As further details become available for our 2023 Events, we bring you essential updates and what else to look out for in 2023.

Paper of the Month
This month we are looking back to a paper from Karin de Borst, Shell Global Solutions International. Presented at our Hydrogen Webinar, April 2023 and our Best Paper Award Winner.
"Large-scale geological hydrogen storage: challenges and opportunities"
"Hydrogen is considered a key enabler of a net-zero emission energy system. It provides a balance between energy supply and demand over long distances and periods of time and, thus, allows introduction of a higher share of renewable energy sources in the overall energy mix. Offering a balancing mechanism to the energy system will require large-scale storage of hydrogen, which can be most cost-effectively realized in the subsurface using mined salt caverns, depleted reservoirs, or aquifers.
Hydrogen is already being stored in salt caverns at four locations globally, but the experience with storing hydrogen in depleted reservoirs or aquifers is still limited. Remaining technical challenges relate to well and storage integrity, loss of hydrogen due to dispersion and mixing with the in-situ gases, and potential contamination through geochemical and microbial reactions. The costs for the required purification and for disposal of the reject stream will be crucial for the economic feasibility of subsurface hydrogen storage and determine which markets can be supplied after storage, depending on their purity requirements."
