In his presentation, Howard will summarize the current deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects worldwide, as well as discuss the policy and economic drivers behind this deployment. In the last decade, applications for CCS have expanded well beyond their initial focus of coal-fired power plants and now include gas-fired power plants, cement, iron and steel, bioenergy, and direct air capture. Howard will explore the challenges and opportunities for these various applications.
Howard was a Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (released September, 2005) and a US delegate to the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum's Technical Group (June 2003-September 2007). He was awarded the 2010 Greenman Award by the IEAGHG, “in recognition of contributions made to the development of greenhouse gas control technologies." In 2018, he authored a book entitled Carbon Capture for the MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series.
