Technological Learning, Spillovers, and Returns to Scale for Carbon Capture and Storage

Open to the Public

In order to make a contribution to avoiding carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions and mitigating climate change, climate-friendly technologies must be deployed at considerable scale. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one such technology. In this talk, Jeff will discuss the returns to scale for CCS as the spatial coupling of an integrated system of technologies. He will also discuss technological learning and innovation in managing CO2 injection projects, and how such technological change has occurred over time.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
