Be a Part of our Multi-Disciplined Agenda

The Carbon Capture Conference USA 2026 brings emitters, technology OEMs, storage developers, financiers, and policymakers together to share expertise, exchange ideas, and showcase innovations in capture, transport, storage, and CO₂ use. The conference fosters networking across operators. Topics include capture systems, hub models, storage qualification, utilization markets, finance, incentives, permitting, and case studies.

The Carbon Capture Conference USA is seeking papers that broadly focus on the following 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.
