CMC is hosting its second annual conference in Gatineau, Quebec from May 23 to 25, 2012. To reflect the national nature of the network, the conference will change venues each year. The first conference was held in Calgary, Alberta.

An exciting conference program has been developed featuring panel discussions and workshops on innovation, IP, and carbon management in Alberta’s oilsands.

New this year will be research presentations by project investigators, postdocs and graduate students. The conference will also feature a poster session, banquet and workshops. One highlight will be a science cafe discussion examining the variety of attitudes toward carbon capture and storage. Pre and post conference workshops for students are planned.

Call for Papers

The 2013 Conference program again highlights the potential utilization of anthropogenic carbon emissions and the necessary requirement to develop commercially viable carbon capture technologies and infrastructure to make utilization possible. Though the emphasis is on systems and technologies that are being or could be deployed in North America, the work undertaken outside North America that would contribute to progress here is of equal importance.

To present an oral paper in the concurrent sessions or a poster, a 2,000 character abstract (spaces included, approx. 300-350 words) must be submitted for peer review. Below is a list of general topic & subtopic areas. Acceptance depends on the decision of reviewers.

The 3rd Climate Change Technology Conference (CCTC 2013) is a Canadian and international forum for the exchange of ideas for dealing with climate change. It is also an opportunity to keep abreast of emerging techniques and technologies for the mitigation of, and adaptation to, the impacts of climate change. The Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) and ten of its member societies are organizing CCTC 2013, which will be held on the campus of Concordia University in Montreal.

To view the call for proposals

Carbon Management Canada’s 3^rd annual scientific conference is being held this year at the Westin Hotel in downtown Calgary.

The June 3-5 conference will integrate both the scientific conference and the industry forum. Originally scheduled for October 2012, the forum was postponed until 2013 so it could be held in conjunction with the annual conference. The forum will bring an exciting twist to the conference. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between researchers and technology developers and practitioners and end users.
