About Event
Welcome to Carbon Capture Conference USA 2026, where industry leaders gather to scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage for large-scale decarbonization initiatives.
Emitters move from feasibility to deployment, securing transport, de risking storage via permitting and MRV, and building reliable CCU offtake and carbon credit revenues, protecting plant safety.
The event will showcase scalable solutions in capture, transport, storage, and CO₂ utilization, advancing technology, finance, and policy to accelerate industrial decarbonization effectively and sustainably.
Join us to gain practical insights, accelerate your CCUS roadmap with proven strategies, shape industry standards, and drive operational excellence.
Conference agenda key topics
Structuring bankability and revenue stacking for CCUS.
Structuring tariffs, credits, carbon markets and CfDs; allocating risks across emitters and T&S operators to reach investment grade term sheets.
Advancing capture integration and energy optimization
Cutting energy penalty with heat integration, solvent management, flue gas conditioning and brownfield retrofits with minimal downtime.
Building CO₂ hubs and open access networks
Designing shared pipelines and shipping, setting transparent tariffs, interconnect rules and capacity markets that scale cross border flows.
Qualifying storage sites with MRV, insurance and liability
From site screening and injectivity to MMV plans, insurance solutions, stewardship and long term liability transfer.
Commercializing CO₂ utilization with credible LCA claims
Developing bankable offtakes in e fuels, concrete and chemicals; verifying carbon intensity and avoiding double counting.
Digitizing CCUS for automated verification and leak detection
Deploying sensors, data pipelines and digital twins for real time reporting, verification and safety.
Engaging communities and accelerating permitting
Building social license, emergency response plans and transparent communication to shorten approvals and maintain trust.
Securing supply chains and workforce capabilities
Managing OEM lead times, materials, standards and skills; creating training pathways for operations and maintenance.
