APEGGA Events 17 February 2005, Thursday CALGARY LUNCHEON Location: The Fairmont Palliser TIME: 11:15 a.m. Registration 11:45 a.m. Luncheon 12:15 p.m. Guest Speaker LOCATION:The Fairmont Palliser Hotel, 133 9 Avenue SW COST: $30.00 Members / General Public $15.00 Students GUEST SPEAKER: Dr. David Keith, Canada Research Chair in Energy and the Environment Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering and Department of Economics, University of Calgary TOPIC: TECHNOLOGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE While the wisdom of Kyoto is debatable, there is little doubt that humans are altering the global climate and that action to slow human induced climate change is warranted. Fossil fuel technologies serve a primary driver of industrial civilization and of human induced climatic change, yet we don't have to abandon access to abundant energy to abate our impact on the global climate. Technologies exist that could enable us to drastically reduce our impact on the climate while continuing to provide more energy services. Dr. Keith will focus on one set of technologies of particular importance to Alberta: the use of fossil fuels without emissions accomplished by capturing CO2 and storing it in sedimentary reservoirs. The best near-term opportunities involve CO2 capture from gas processing and advanced oil-sands operations for use in enhanced recovery. In closing, he will speculate about the political options that might enable near-term action in Alberta.
