Presented by Net Zero Atlantic
Forum Overview
Canada has the means to close emission gaps by turning carbon capture and storage (CCS) potential into action. With local offshore carbon storage research underway, Atlantic Canada is seen as having the potential to play an important national role.
The Atlantic Canadian CCS Research Forum is an immediate opportunity to accelerate action through knowledge transfer in presentations and informal conversations and by encouraging academic collaborations post-forum.
