UT Austin was recently selected to host the 12th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Technologies (GHGT-12) in October 2014. Since its inception in 1997, the GHGT series has quickly developed into the leading international conference on greenhouse gas technologies and typically attracts more than 1,200 attendees who come to listen to presentations on a variety of topics, from public perception to wellbore integrity and chemical looping. The conference is held every two years on an informal rotation between major cities in Europe, Asia, and North America. As members of the steering committee, Drs. Steve Bryant and Hilary Olson of the UT PGE Department are excited to bring the GHGT-12 conference to Texas’ capital city.
"The GHGT conference series is the key international venue for research and development on carbon capture and storage, which is a significant technology solution for preventing global warming,” said Bryant. “The selection of Austin to serve as the host city for GHGT-12 in 2014 reflects UT Austin’s worldwide prominence as a thought leader in greenhouse gas technologies.”
