Call for Workshop Proposals
We invite you to submit a proposal to host a one-day workshop as part of the 2026 Conference Programme. Workshops offer a dynamic space to explore cutting-edge ideas, share experiences and insights, and connect with participants from a variety of fields and perspectives.
Workshops may focus on any theme relevant to the conference’s interdisciplinary focus and should aim to inspire creative thinking, stimulate meaningful discussion, and build collaborations across research, practice, and policy.

This workshop focuses on opportunities to advance technologies to improve injectivity, storage efficiency, and cost-effective monitoring to make CO2 storage a vital tool in mitigating climate change. CO2 storage and monitoring face challenges such as ensuring long-term containment and detecting leaks. Therefore, innovations in geophysical techniques and real-time monitoring can enhance the safety and efficiency of CO2 storage sites.
| Convenor: | World CCUS Technical Committee |
| Language: | English |
| Location: | TBC |
This workshop covers the geological and environmental aspects of CO2 injection, sequestration and monitoring that control the success of real CO2 storage projects.Â
