GHG Reporting: In Context
Friday, Feb. 10, 2012 - This workshop built upon the sessions from the conference with a more in-depth discussion on case studies, industry questions and implementation issues. Discussions covered the differences and relationships between voluntary reporting, the GHG Reporting Rule, and permitting requirements, including technical requirements, state and federal regulatory enforcement authority and legal implications.
Inclusion of Technology Barriers in Economic and Policy Analyses of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation
Regulatory frameworks that permit and/or form barriers to technology systems are one type of institutional barrier, and one that was a focus in the Workshop on Carbon Management Gaps & Barriers in Electric Power and Transportation Sectors. The clearer inclusion of such barriers -- and the analysis of the effect of addressing such barriers -- in economic and policy analyses has the potential to form a rational basis for actions to address barriers to be considered along-side of actions to develop technologies, and drive technology improvements. This working meeting involved engineers familiar with technology barriers and researchers involved in the economic modeling of policies to explore Inclusion of Technology Barriers in Economic and Policy Analyses of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation.
Sustainability Metrics for Carbon Management Technologies: Use of Life Cycle and Full Cost Accounting
Friday, Feb. 10, 2012 - During this workshop, participants explored both life cycle approaches and total cost assessment for addressing metrics for evaluation of carbon management technologies. Lise Laurin, Earthshift moderated.
CCS: Dialogue between Engineering Societies and CCS Technical Leaders
Engineering society activities, including meetings and publications, are having an increasing focus on carbon dioxide capture, utilization and storage. This working meeting will include leaders of the CCS technical with leaders of engineering society CCS initiatives to explore the ways in which engineering societies could best serve the CCS community.
