Conference
Dublin Castle Conference Centre
11-12 March 2010

This conference will review recent international research and developments in carbon capture and storage (CCS), while at the same time providing a forum to assess technical and investment opportunities in Ireland and Northern Ireland. It will be an important occasion for communicating the benefits and impacts of implementing CCS.
The conference will be of vital interest to those who are involved in CCS developments, including government departments, local authorities, state agencies, energy compa
nies, the research and environmental communities and the general public.
