IEAGHG Monitoring Network Meeting:

Monitoring, Commercialisation & Regulatory Developments

Dates:

August 8th – 10th 2023

Hosts:

Louisiana State University and the Gulf Coast Carbon Center

Location:

Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA

The IEAGHG Monitoring Network aims to assess new technologies and techniques in the monitoring of CO2 storage, determine the limitations, accuracy and applicability of monitoring techniques and share experiences from research and storage projects around the world.

 

This meeting will be the 14th in-person meeting of this IEAGHG expert network and will be split into two separate themes: day 1, a technical deep-dive into developments in monitoring techniques, methods and processes aimed at monitoring experts, and day 2, which will be aimed more at regulators and regulatory issues in monitoring. 

 

Technical sessions will involve presentations from international experts and discussions on areas such as fiber optics, low-cost monitoring for subsurface seismic, non-seismic methods, offshore environmental monitoring, terrestrial monitoring and automation and integration of MMV. The regulatory focused day will delve into framing the problem, environmental aspects, requirements and societal considerations of monitoring.
