The main objective of the Workshop Brazil – Netherlands is to discuss the experiences from

Brazilian and Dutch universities on CCS, CCUS and BECCSUS, analyzing the need for such

technologies to reduce carbon emissions and the existing challenges for the corresponding

implementation.

 

Despite the importance of the subject and the need to implement such technologies to mitigate

climate change, perspectives are more and more challenging according to the last IPCC report

(https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/) presented at COP24, held in Katowice, Poland. Its urgency is well

recognized and there is a strong need for additional measures to reduce GHG emissions

(http://www.cop24.katowice.eu/).

 

In this context, it is fundamental the adequate knowledge for additional measures to reduce

GHG emissions, such as CCS, CCUS, BECCS, BECCUS. These processes are starting to be

discussed in Brazil and RCGI/FAPESP/SHELL is deeply involved in this research, through

several of the projects under development and under preparation.

 

On another hand, The Netherlands has a huge experience on these subjects and the Dutch

researchers invited for the Workshop Brazil – Netherlands surely will contribute to increase the

Brazilian knowledge. Researchers from different areas related to CCS, CCUS and BECCS.

 

The event is a collaboration between the Research Center for Gas Innovation (RCGI) and the

Institute of Energy and Environment of the University of São Paulo, in partnership with the

Dutch Universities - Delft, Utrecht, Twente and Groningen and Trinomics, a consulting

company in the Netherlands with significant experience in the sector. The event has the

 

The workshop will be in English, with no translation available. The workshop is addressed to

researchers, professors, graduate and undergraduate students, as well as to specialists and

civil society in general.
