Event Description
Carbon Capture Technology Conference & Expo - North America 2027: Houston, TX - Leading the Decarbonization Charge
Scheduled for January 13-14, 2027, in the heart of the global energy industry, Houston, Texas, the Carbon Capture Technology Conference & Expo - North America 2027 stands as the premier gathering dedicated to accelerating the deployment of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and direct air capture (DAC) technologies across the continent. This pivotal event arrives at a critical juncture, driven by ambitious climate goals, significant policy incentives like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and an urgent need to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors.
Core Focus & Themes:
The conference will delve into the entire CCUS/DAC value chain, addressing the most pressing challenges and opportunities:
1. Policy & Finance: Deep dives into evolving federal and state regulations, tax credits (45Q), carbon markets, project financing mechanisms, and strategies to attract private capital for large-scale deployment.
2. Technology Innovation: Showcasing breakthroughs in capture solvents, membranes, sorbents, and novel processes for both point-source capture (power, cement, steel, hydrogen) and DAC. Focus on efficiency gains, cost reduction, and integration with industrial processes.
3. Transport & Storage: Discussions on CO₂ pipeline infrastructure development, safety standards, monitoring, verification, and permanent storage solutions, including saline aquifers and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) optimization.
4. Utilization & Markets: Exploring pathways for CO₂ utilization in products like fuels, chemicals, building materials, and concrete, alongside market development strategies and lifecycle analysis.
5. Project Development & Execution: Case studies from operational and planned CCUS/DAC hubs, covering site selection, engineering challenges, permitting hurdles, and supply chain resilience.
6. Hydrogen Integration: Examining the synergies between blue hydrogen production (with CCUS) and the broader hydrogen economy.
Who Attends:
This expo attracts a diverse and influential audience:
Industry Leaders: Executives from energy, utilities, manufacturing (cement, steel, chemicals), and technology providers.
Project Developers & Investors: Developers of CCUS/DAC hubs and infrastructure, private equity, venture capital, and project finance specialists.
Policymakers & Regulators: Government officials, agency representatives, and lawmakers shaping the regulatory landscape.
Technical Experts: Engineers, scientists, researchers, and operators focused on technology deployment and operations.
Service Providers: Companies offering legal, financial, consulting, and engineering services for the CCUS/DAC sector.
Academia & Research Institutions: Leading researchers driving innovation.
Houston: The Ideal Venue
Houston is the undisputed epicenter of the North American energy industry and a natural hub for CCUS activity. The city hosts major energy companies, extensive oilfield service expertise, critical infrastructure (pipelines, ports), and is home to significant CCUS projects and research initiatives (e.g., near the Port of Galveston). Its central location and robust business ecosystem make it the perfect place to foster collaboration, showcase technology, and drive deals.
