This presentation highlights the challenges and opportunities in launching CCS projects. It discusses economic hurdles, infrastructure needs, public perception issues, and competition from other technologies. Using the Harvestone Blue Flint CCS project as a case study, it emphasizes the potential for smaller-scale CCS projects to contribute to emissions reduction goals. The presentation concludes by advocating for continued innovation, investment, and public engagement to accelerate CCS deployment.

The panel discussion will cover key challenges and opportunities in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), including seismic monitoring reliability, regulatory oversight, project financing, and the impact of policy changes on funding. The speakers will explore expanding Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), near-site CCS potential, and the role of innovative financial structures like tax equity deals in advancing projects.
