CAGS CCS Summer School

Click here for PDFs of the presentations from this workshop

The first CAGS Carbon Capture and Storage school was held in Wuhan, China, from 30 October - 3 November 2010 following Workshop Two. The School was organised by the Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and jointly hosted by the Department of Social Development, Ministry of Science and Technology; the Administrative Centre for China’s Agenda 21; and Geoscience Australia. 51 students with a variety of backgrounds were selected from over 300 applicants to attend the School - 44 from China and 7 from Australia.

 

The workshop was divided into six sessions covering most aspects of CO2 capture and geological storage including: CO2 capture technology; safety assessment and monitoring; site exploration and characterisation; modelling and storage capability assessment; economics; and CCS projects in China and Australia. 

Each session comprised lectures and group discussions. Students were encouraged to contribute to robust discussions which addressed topics related to the subject of each session. Many of them used the opportunity to ask questions and share their experience and knowledge with other students and with the experts.

As a result of the success of the first CCS School and the great interest from Chinese students, CAGS will host a second CCS School in mid-2011.
