Distinguished Lecture:

The Strategic Significance and Practicalities of CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery and Storage

As there is a global imperative to reduce CO2 emissions, this opportunity is also available to other countries with significant coal-fired electricity generation and an indigenous oil industry. This lecture includes policy background, plans by utility companies, sources and sinks for CO2, the EOR opportunity, infrastructure requirements, and engineering challenges.
