This year, to ensure a more in-depth debate on the sustainability of the industry, the congress will expand discussion areas beyond technological features, including perspectives related to environmental and economic aspects. The committee selected topics that were directly aligned with current challenges – both Brazilian and global – for the development of the O&G sector in a low carbon economy.

For that reason, the event will bring, in its plenary, the global perspectives for CO2 and sustainability, addressing the status of CO2 emissions in the world, besides trends, risks and positioning of governments and institutions. The themes of the panels, on the other hand, include a Brazilian overview for emissions, the low carbon economy, as well as Capture, Conversion, Use and Storage technologies associated with carbon dioxide. A round table will also provide a debate on the role of the oil industry in the Brazilian energy transition.

Call for Papers

To enrich the discussions, the call for papers for the Congress on CO2 is now open. Interested authors can submit their projects to the event’s website up to April 16, through the Author’s Area. The final projects will be published in IBP’s online library, with ISSN registration, and in libraries of universities and partner companies. They may still be published in indexed journals.

The papers presented at the congress will be evaluated by the Technical Committee, and those that stand out will be forwarded to Rio Oil & Gas’ Technical Committee, which will decide their format for the event’s final program – oral or poster. Each of the following themes will have one chosen project: Risk Assessment and Management, Capture, Transportation, Geological Storage and Use.

Congress on CO₂: new deadline for paper submission

The interested authors can submit their extended abstracts to the website up to February 16, through the Author’s Area. The selected papers will be published in IBP’s online library. Click here to find out more information, such as complete schedule and paper format.

Under the motto “CO₂ and the low carbon economy”, the event will promote the integration of sectors, service companies, government agencies and think tanks to discuss subjects such as technologies applied to CO₂, sustainability and carbon pricing in the O&G industry.

“The Congress on CO2 wants to promote the integration between industries, service providers, associations, government agencies, research centers and universities,” Melissa Fernandez, Technology and Innovation Manager at IBP, says. “In a low-carbon economy, CO2 capture, transport and destination technologies play a central role, as they reduce environmental impacts of natural gas use on electric generation,” she adds.

One of the main challenges of the 21st century is meeting growing energy demand in this scenario of restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. So, in the past few years, events about CO2 have been organized around the world, motivated by the necessity to discuss the reduction of this gas’ emissions.

To enrich and broaden the debate of the event, whose motto will be “CO2 and the Low Carbon Economy”, IBP is receiving technical papers related to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in the sector. Interested authors can submit their abstracts to the event’s website up to January 19 (Friday), through the Author’s Area. Those selected papers will be published in IBP’s online library.

Meeting the increase of energetic demand in a restrictive scenario of greenhouse effect gas emissions is one the most challenging tasks of the 21^st century. In recent times, events about CO2 have been organized throughout the world, motivated by the necessity to discuss the reduction of this gas’ emissions.

With this picture in mind, capture, transportation, and CO2 destination technologies play a central role on the reduction of environmental impacts of Natural Gas utilization as a fuel for electricity generation, when a transition for renewable energy and low carbon intensity sources is in place.
