- Geological sequestration. Learn from petroleum industry experience with enhanced oil recovery, and hear perspectives on large-scale sequestration. Examine the outlook for geological storage in North America including types of formations that work for sequestration.
- Latest trends in permitting. Hear case studies and regulatory updates from experts in sequestration, including questions about jurisdiction over underground storage, rights of land owners, the states, mineral rights holders, and the federal government.
If you are a power generator, coal producer, and energy financier, or a company involved in tertiary recovery and transportation of CO2 you won't want to miss this opportunity to network with those responsible for new project development, IGCC, gasification, geological engineering, EOR and carbon trading.

The Texas Carbon Capture and Storage Association (“TxCCSA”) is a non-profit industry association advocating for policies that support the development of a commercial CCS industry in Texas and promoting energy independence through increasing environmentally responsible fuel production in Texas. We seek the growth and commercialization of the CCS industry through market-based laws, regulations and incentives that support private sector investment.
Our primary purposes are to: (i) educate Texas policymakers about the commercial CCS industry; (ii) inform our members about policy, legal, regulatory and technical developments related to CCS through information sharing and analysis; (iii) help commercial enterprises position themselves to take advantage of carbon management policies adopted by regulators and actors in private markets; (iv) promote the beneficial uses of CO2 particularly CO2 for EOR; and (v) promote energy independence strategies.
