He has been involved in dozens of CCUS demonstration projects and currently with numerous large scale commercial projects.
John graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He is named as an inventor on three CCUS related patents.
After explaining terminology and the differences between CCS and CCUS, this presentation will deliver a high level, education oriented, primer on geologic carbon storage. It will answer the questions: What is, and where in the earth are, storage sites? What are the characteristics of a large scale commercial storage site and what data is needed to prove their viability? How is the CO2 safely contained over time? What does the lifecycle of a CO2 commercial storage project look like?
