The topic of the webinar focused on findings from the first phase of I-WEST initiative, specifically related to CO2 utilization and storage as one of the many potential deep decarbonization pathway available to the region. Specifically, the seminar presented topics like: an overview of CCUS technology and benefits; a highlight of a variety of CO2 storage and utilization approaches available to the region, relevant governing regulations, and technical and non-technical grand challenges associated with each option; findings from an assessment of opportunities for CCUS deployment at significant scale within the Intermountain West; and context to help listeners better understand the technical aspects of CCUS and how they interface with economic, social, and policy aspects of decarbonization applicable to the I-WEST geographic region.
