Summary:
The energy transition is upon us. The common story is that eventually, emission-free energy sources (i.e. solar and wind) will replace oil and gas entirely. This is also supported by the current trend for ESG investments and nation-wide efforts to combat climate change as guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Dire implications of not doing so are also warned by the Paris Agreement and the IPCC report. But, what if Oil and Gas could be emission-free? what if it could be carbon-negative?
In this presentation, Mr. Karimi will tell a new story for the energy transition while painting a realistic future for the oil and gas industry that's enabled by nature-inspired carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology.
