About the Event
The Future of CCUS Summit is a carbon capture and carbon removal focused conference hosted by the California CCUS Forum. The California CCUS Forum exists to support discussions among policymakers, scientists, industrial operators, investors, legislators, and climate technology innovators. It hosts the Future of CCUS Summit yearly, so that leaders in the CCUS industry can interact and have meaningful discussions about the barriers that need to be overcome and solutions that exist to help advance the fight against climate change.
California's Policy Context
California has a 2045 statewide carbon-neutrality target. It has also adopted carbon removal targets of 20 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent by 2030 and 100 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent by 2045.
Policymakers in the state have made clear that in addition to natural forms of carbon removal, engineered forms of carbon removal and storage will be needed for California to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. The California CCUS Forum supports the advancement and deployment of point source carbon capture as well as carbon removal technologies at scale and promotes the free-flowing exchange of ideas from a broad stakeholder group with diverse areas of expertise.
Mission
The California CCUS Forum’s mission is to foster awareness and relationship building through open dialogue and a focus on finding solutions to support the deployment of carbon capture technologies to combat the most critical problem facing humanity.
