The carbon market is a hot topic we are all hearing about. Land professionals are working on more carbon sequestration pipelines and projects supporting carbon injection/storage technologies, and work is not slowing down anytime soon. Land professionals providing appraisal, right of way negotiations and mineral rights services will benefit from diving in deeper to better understand the basics of what carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is, why and how more industries and governments are wanting to utilize and improve the technologies for CCUS, the current general status of CCUS and what is hoping to be achieved by implementation of CCUS.

The carbon industry is multipronged and interconnected with a variety of other industries such as the energy industry, chemicals, agriculture, transportation, steel and cement. The public and political concern over greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the impacts on global climate change has led many countries and companies to a push for a net zero emissions environment.

According to the World Economic Forum, human-made CO2 emissions need to fall 45% by 2030, and the world needs to reach net-zero by 2050 to stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, as agreed in the 2015 Paris climate summit. Reaching this net-zero state would require removing all GHG emissions, of which CO2 makes up the majority (carbon storage).

Reaching a carbon neutral state would require the use of carbon offset programs to remove the same amount of carbon-only emissions as the amount produced (e.g., carbon capture/sequestration and utilization).

Our panel of carbon experts will share their knowledge and experiences so you can be better prepared to talk to landowners, clients and colleagues when they ask questions about carbon capture, sequestration, storage and

Brandon Bromberek, Vice President of Oil & Gas, Measurement Solutions at Emerson Automation Solutions, will be providing a brief intro into CCUS and how developing and improving CCUS technologies to make it more efficient, financially feasible, sustainable and scalable will help North America.

Kirk Barrell, Co-Founder of NuQuest Energy and Petroleum Geologist, will be speaking about the basics of sequestration at injection sites.

Micah Rorie, VP of Land with Summit Carbon Solutions, will be talking about their massive Carbon Sequestration Pipeline (Midwest Carbon Express) serving the ethanol and agricultural industries and lessons learned.
