Carbon Capture Technology: an untapped potential?

Carbon Capture - Expensive set of technologies, difficult to scale, and many still question its necessity when we know that trees are the perfect natural carbon guzzler. Then why is that we need it and why is it attracting a lot of attention and capital? Well for one - if we are to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement, CCUS technologies may prove to be a necessity.

Let's take a closer look at the potential of these technologies, the barriers they face in scaling, and how corporations are leveraging their potential in conversations with

• Antoine Delafargue, Managing Director & CTO, TOTAL Carbon Neutrality Ventures &
• Bas Sudmeijer, Climate & Energy Transition Lead, Boston Consulting Group

Together, they will discuss:

• Carbon Capture - its potential - Technologies with the potential to save this planet or mere hype
• Its challenges - Scalability and Cost - Navigating these challenges
• Reasons for increased funding in the technology → How to foster the technology development from academia/regulation and corporate perspective on it ?
• Deep tech led Innovation to aid Carbon Capture & Climate solutions
• Tax and policy signals one could hope to see helping CCUS?
• Are startups the best players to develop the CCUS technologies - given the industrial nature, long time scales?
• How a larger involvement by Corporates such as Total can present Carbon capture one of the greatest tools against Climate change and in particular their venture arm?

Join us in conversation at 8th June, 4pm CEST. The moderated discussion will be followed by a Q&A session. Let's discuss and walk together in the direction of Carbon neutrality.
